Hurricanes often cause severe flooding. The water moving over land causes erosion. Waves from hurricanes can erode beaches. The winds in tornadoes have sometimes been known to scour soil away, but this is rare, only occurring in the most violent tornadoes. Both tornadoes and hurricanes can destroy trees and other vegetation, which leaves the soil vulnerable to erosion.
What else can I help you with?
What is faster a hurricane or tornado?
In terms of wind speed, tornado and hurricane winds usually fall into the same range. Tornadoes are capable of producing stronger winds than hurricanes are, however. In terms of traveling speed, tornadoes generally move faster but, again, there is a good deal of overlap.
Is eroding natural?
Erosion is a natural process, but human actions can speed it up significantly.
What is hurricane Ivans speed?
Hurricane Ivan speed is 105
Does the amount of property damage done by a hurricane determine its strength?
No. Damage is the basis of tornado ratings, but not for hurricanes. Hurricanes are rated based on maximum sustained wind speed.
How would a storm like a hurricane or a tornado speed up the process of erosion?
Hurricanes produce large waves, heavy rain, and extensive flooding, all of which can cause severe erosion, especially along coasts. Tornadoes, especially strong ones can lift large amounts of soil into the air and pull vegetation from the ground, leaving the soil vulnerable to further erosion.

Does a hurricane have the largest speed?
No. A tornado has the highest recorded wind speed. In excess of 300 mph.

What storms has the highest wind speed--A Mid-latitude cyclonic storm B-Tornado C- Hurricane D- Thunderstorm?
Of these, a tornado produces the fastest winds.
What is the world record for wind speed excluding hurricane and tornado data?
The fastest wind ever recorded on earth outside of a tornado or hurricane was a gust to 231 mph (372 km/h) at the summit of Mount Washington on April 12, 1934.
Is a hurricane the most powerful natural disaster?
No. In terms of wind speed a tornado is the strongest. In terms of energy released and earthquake is the strongest.
What is used for wind speed?
Wind speed may be measured using an anemometer.
Is the worst part of a tornado the eye?
No. Like the eye of a hurricane, the eye of a tornado is calm. The worst part of tornado is the suction vortices. These are smaller circulations, almost like mini tornadoes, that circle the center of a tornado and can add more than 100 mph to the wind speed.
Do scientists use the Fujita scale to measure hurricane intensity?
The Fujita scale is only for tornado intensity. Meteorologists use a different wind scale for hurricanes called the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Is eroding natural?
Erosion is a natural process, but human actions can speed it up significantly.
What is hurricane Ivans speed?
Hurricane Ivan speed is 105
How can a hurricane be stronger than a tornado?
For one thing, the wind speed ranges of tornadoes and hurricanes overlap. Some hurricanes produce winds in excess of 150 mph, while not all tornadoes do. However, the maximum winds speeds of tornadoes are greater than those of hurricanes. Even though a tornado can produce faster winds than any hurricane, a hurricane is many times larger than a tornado, and so releases far more energy.
