It is better to day they form in low pressure areas. Hurricanes themselves are large, intense low pressure systems. Tornadoes also produce low pressure but are too small to be considered their own weather systems. They generally form in a broad area of low pressure as well.
Yes, both tornadoes and hurricanes require low air pressure to form and intensify. In tornadoes, the rapidly rotating column of air is driven by the pressure difference caused by the surrounding low pressure. Hurricanes form around a low-pressure center, with the pressure gradient helping to enhance the storm's winds and intensity.
No. Like most forms of violent weather, hurricanes and tornadoes are associated with low pressure.
Hurricanes form from areas of low atmospheric pressure.
Tornadoes can form over just about any sort of terrain but tend to be more common in flat or gently rolling areas. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water.
Hurricanes occur in the tropics, while tornadoes can occur in various regions, including the tropics. In the tropics, tornadoes are less common compared to hurricanes due to the different atmospheric conditions that typically favor the formation of hurricanes over tornadoes.

Tornadoes are themselves small low pressure areas, and generally form with low pressure systems. Most low pressure systems, however, do not produce tornadoes.
Tornadoes develop over land, typically in the central United States within a specific type of thunderstorm called a supercell. Hurricanes develop over warm ocean waters near the equator, usually in the Atlantic Ocean. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are powerful natural disasters capable of causing significant damage.
Hurricanes form over warm ocean water. Tornadoes can form just about anywhere.

No, tornadoes do not form from areas of low pressure. Tornadoes form from rotating thunderstorms called supercells, which are unique in their structure and must have specific atmospheric conditions to produce a tornado.
No. While many hurricanes do produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are the result of storm systems other than hurricanes. Addtionally, the tornadoes that do form in hurricanes usually form along the front part of the storm.
Hurricanes form around areas of low pressure. As warm air rises in the atmosphere, it creates an area of low pressure at the surface, which can develop into a hurricane under the right conditions.
