An Earthquake can be far deadlier.

Fore example the Earthquake in Haiti killed over had a death toll over 200,000.

The deadliest tornado in world history (in Bangladesh) killed about 1,300.

Earthquakes when properly prepared for however can be far less damaging than the one in Haiti. Tornados can be far deadlier however, because they cannot be predicted and their paths are random.

Can a tornado happen after an earthquake?

It is unlikely for a tornado to occur immediately after an earthquake. Tornadoes are typically caused by severe thunderstorms, while earthquakes result from the movement of tectonic plates. However, unusual weather patterns or phenomena following an earthquake could potentially lead to tornado formation.

What is worse a tornado earthquake volcano or hurricane?

One is not necessarily worse than the others. Each tornado, earthquake, volcanic eruption, and hurricane must be assessed individually. For all of these phenomena the magnitude of the effects can range from almost nothing to catastrophic. For example you can have an earthquake that does no more than knock a few pictures off of walls and a tornado that levels a whole town. Conversely, you can have an earthquake that devastates a whole region, killing thousands and a tornado that does no more than peel a few shingles. However, if we look at just the worst few cases of each type of event, earthquakes appear to come out on top. There have been more earthquakes in recorded history with death tolls in the tens to hundreds of thousands than there have been of the others, especially if you include deaths from the tsunamis that some earthquakes generate.
