They all form by different mechanisms.
Volcanoes: Formation of volcanoes starts when hot rock in the mantle melts and rises through Earth's crust, erupting at the surface to form volcanoes. There are three main ways of melting the rock. The first occurs when a tectonic plate made of oceanic crust collides with another plate and is forced down into the mantle. Water trapped in the plate seeps out, lowering the melting point of the hot mantle rocks. The second occurs where two plates pull apart. At such a point, the crust is thin, which puts less pressure on the upper mantle, lowering the melting point. Finally, in some areas called hot spot, extra hot mantle material wells up to just under the crust, and some of it melts.
Earthquakes: Earthquakes are primarily a release of tension in Earth's crust. Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates. In these areas, the plates move into, away from, or past each other. Areas along the boundary snag and build up tension as the plates continue to move. When the plates slip, in what is called a rupture, the tension is released in the form of an Earthquake. This can occasionally happen at smaller faults away from plate boundaries.
Tsunamis: Most tsunamis result from underwater earthquakes, particularly megathrust earthquakes. In this scenario, a plate of oceanic crust slides under another plate in what is called subduction. Tension builds up between the plates, usually over a few centuries. When the tension is releases and the plates slip into a more stable position, there is vertical movement of the seafloor. This displaces the water overhead, generating a series of long-period waves. Some tsunamis result from landslides that either occur underwater or into water. In either case, the large movement of rock or sediment displaces a large volume of water, which generates waves.
Hurricanes: A hurricane, or generically a tropical cyclone, generally starts out as an area of low barometric pressure, showers, and thunderstorms called a tropical disturbance. As the disturbance moves out over warm, ocean water, the warm, humid air fuels the thunderstorms, causing them to grow stronger. The strengthening storms lower the pressure, causing the system to draw in more warm, moist air. This cycle reinforces itself and the system strengthens. As this happens, the Coriolis effect, a consequence of Earth's spin, causes the system to begin rotating. This causes it to organize, allowing it to draw in air more efficiently. Once the system develops a well-defined circulation, it is dubbed a tropical depression. When winds reach at least 39 mph it becomes a tropical storm. When they reach 74 mph it becomes a hurricane.
Tornadoes: The formation of tornadoes starts with the formation of thunderstorms. The thunderstorms that produce tornadoes usually develop where a cool and/or dry air mass plows into a warm, moist air mass. If there is enough energy in the atmosphere, these storms will become very strong. The next ingredient is wind shear, or differences in wind speed and direction with altitude. This does two things for the storm. First it affects circulation within the storm such that it is no longer choked by its own rain-cooled air, which commonly weakens and eventually kills thunderstorms. Second, in some cases it sets a thunderstorm rotating, turning it into a supercell. Rotation in a supercell is focused in an area called the mesocyclone. Under the right conditions, a downdraft may wrap around a portion of the mesocyclone, tightening and intensifying it to form a tornado.
What else can I help you with?
What do thunderstorms tornadoes and hurricanes affect?
Hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tornadoes can all cause damage to vegetation and man made structure through their winds. Hurricanes and thunderstorms both produce rain, which can sometimes lead to flooding. It should be noted that hurricanes produce thunderstorms and thunderstorms, including those found in hurricanes, are what produce tornadoes.
Which weather phenomena is associated with tornadoes and hurricanes?
Thunderstorms. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms while a hurricane is composed of thunderstorms.
Are there hurricanes tornadoes or thunder storms in Uruguay?
Uruguay gets thunderstorms and occasional tornadoes, but not hurricanes.
Does precipitation happen with hurricanes tornadoes and thunderstorms?
Yes. Hurricanes produce torrentail rain, and thunderstorms will usually produce rain and sometimes hail. Since tornadoes are a product of strong thunderstorms, they will usually be accompanied by rain and are often accompanied by hail.
Do thunderstorms hurricanes and tornadoes all involve rain?
Yes, although thunderstorms and hurricanes always involve large - sometimes torrential - amounts of rain. Tornadoes may involve torrential amounts of rain, some rain, or very little to no rain at all.
What do thunderstorms tornadoes and hurricanes affect?

Hurricanes and thunderstorms both produce rain, which can sometimes lead to flooding. It should be noted that hurricanes produce thunderstorms and thunderstorms, including those found in hurricanes, are what produce tornadoes.

Are there hurricanes tornadoes or thunder storms in Uruguay?
Uruguay gets thunderstorms and occasional tornadoes, but not hurricanes.
What do thunderstorms have to do with Tornadoes?
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form.
Do tornadoes and hurricanes occur together?
Tornadoes can occur in hurricanes, but they are not required for a hurricane to form. Tornadoes in hurricanes tend to be weaker and more short-lived compared to those in severe thunderstorms. The conditions within a hurricane can sometimes spawn tornadoes, particularly in the outer rain bands.
What is the characteristics between of thunderstorms tornadoes hurricanes?
Thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes are all types of storm generally driven by warm moist air. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and some thunderstorms rotate and produce damaging winds. Tornadoes themselves are the product of rotating thunderstorms. Both hurricanes and thunderstorms can produce heavy rain.
What are two ways a hurricane is different from tornadoes and thunder storms?
A hurricane is much larger than a thunderstorm. Hurricanes avaerage about 300 miles wide. Thunderstorms are typically 5 to 10 miles wide. Tornadoes average 150 feet wide. Hurricanes only form over tropical ocean water. Thunderstorms and especially tornadoes often form over land and frequently in temperate areas.
Is precipitation one thing hurricanes thunderstorms and tornadoes have in common?
All hurricanes and nearly all thunderstorms produce precipitation. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms and so are nearly always accompanied by precipitation, but they do not produce precipitation.
Do tornadoes come from clouds and hurricanes?
Tornadoes develop during thunderstorms, which are themselves giant cumulonimbus clouds. Some tornadoes are produced by hurricanes, but most are not.
How is the weather in the Atlantic coast in southern France such as events as hurricanes tornadoes and thunderstorms?
Hurricanes do not hit France, though occasionally hurricane remnants do. Tornadoes are not common, but they do occur. Thunderstorms are not uncommon.
Are tornadoes thunderstorms?
No. Tornadoes are violent whirlwinds that can form during thunderstorms.
How are tornadoes related to thunderstorms and hurricanes?
They are all type of storm and can all produce strong winds. Hurricanes and tornadoes have more in common with each other, though, than they do with ordinary thunderstorms. For example, both have eyes, or eyelike structure (in a tornado it is called a weak echo region.) They also both rotate, which is something most thunderstorms don't do. All tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms, some of these storms are produced by hurricanes.
