Yes, at least for the vast majority of tornadoes. Both rotate cyclonically, that is, counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.
However, a small number of tornadoes (less than 1%) rotate the opposite direction from normal. These are called anticyclonic tornadoes.
Yes, but the chances of such an occurrence are extremely low. Hurricanes often produce tornadoes, but more often in their outer regions beyond the area of hurricane conditions (sustained winds of at least 74 mph). Hurricanes and tornadoes are not related to earthquakes in any way known to science. Many area that are prone to large earthquakes to not typically see hurricanes or tornadoes very often.
In the Northern Hemisphere, hurricanes and tornadoes typically rotate counterclockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
hurricanes north of the equtor spin counter clockwise and south is clockwise
Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes, and thus cause damage over a larger area, meaning more homes destroyed, and more people in harm's way. Tornado damage can be more severe, but it is localized along a rather narrow path.
Cyclones spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere.
cyclones. We say hurricanes. Thank you for asking such an educated question! Your welcome and bye!">Yes they do all spin the same way ~ counter clockwise. But in Australia, they spin clockwise because of they are in the southern hemisphere, while a hurricane is the same type of storm in the northern hemisphere. They call them cyclones.

All hurricanes north of the equator spin counterclockwise.
Most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
In the Northern Hemisphere, hurricanes and tornadoes typically rotate counterclockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
Most tornadoes in the U.S. and elsewhere in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. However, on very rare occasions, clockwise tornadoes will occur.
There is no way of preventing any sort of natural disaster.

They are in no way 'less violent'. They may seem it because tornadoes traval faster than a hurricane but, hurricanes last much longer and take more lives than a tornado does.
Hurricanes are important in that they can bring much needed rain to a region and help redistribute heat in the atmosphere, carrying it out of the tropics. Tornadoes also help redistribute heat, though to a lesser degree. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can knock down old trees, clearing the way for new growth.
Most of them spin counterclockwise
No. Tornadoes and hurricanes form in completely different ways and operate on different scales. In very simple terms, hurricanes form when clusters of storms over tropical oceans gains strength and form an organized, large scale and violent storm system. Tornadoes form when rotation within an individual thunderstorm tightens and intensifies into a small-scale but very violent whirlwind.
