What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?

Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.


What storms cover large areas tornadoes or hurricanes?

Hurricanes cover large areas. Tornadoes are much smaller.


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.


Which of the following statements about hurricanes and tornadoes is true hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot hurricanes have strong winds?

The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.


Are hurricanes longer than tornadoes?

Tornadoes are both much larger than tornadoes and last much longer.


Are tornadoes the strongest storms on earth?

In terms of total energy output no. That title would probably go to hurricanes which are much bigger and longer lasting than tornadoes. However, tornadoes are the most intense storms on earth, with winds that can exceed 300 mph.


Which storms cover large areas hurricanes or tornadoes?

Hurricanes cover larger areas than tornadoes. Hurricanes are large, rotating storms that can span hundreds of miles, affecting wide regions with strong winds and heavy rain. Tornadoes, on the other hand, are usually much smaller in size with a narrow path of destruction, affecting a more localized area.


Are hurricanes less predictible than tornadoes yes or no?

No, hurricanes are generally easier to predict. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes and occur over the course of days, as opposed to tornadoes which typically last a few minutes. As a result it is easier to study and monitor hurricanes and therefor predict them.


What is the difference f between tornadoes and hurricanes?

Tornadoes are small, short-lived storms with rotating winds that form over land, typically lasting a few minutes to a few hours. Hurricanes are large, long-lived tropical storms with rotating winds that form over the ocean, lasting several days to weeks and covering a wide area. Tornadoes are typically more localized and intense, while hurricanes are larger and have more widespread impacts.


Why are hurricanes deadlier than tornadoes?

Hurricanes tend to be deadlier than tornadoes for two main reasons. First, hurricanes are huge compared with tornadoes. This means they affect larger areas and so have more opportunity to kill. Also, while tornadoes are chiefly wind events hurricanes produce both intense wind and major flooding. 90% of all hurricane deaths are drownings.


Which covers more hurricane or a tornado?

Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Hurricanes are large, rotating storm systems that can span hundreds of miles and affect entire states or regions, while tornadoes are much smaller in scale, typically only a few hundred feet wide and a few miles long.


Tornadoes are cyclonic while hurricanes are?

Both tornadoes and hurricanes are cyclonic in nature, but they differ in size and scale. Tornadoes are small, localized, and form in severe thunderstorms, while hurricanes are larger, organized storm systems that develop over warm ocean waters. Additionally, tornadoes typically last for a short period of time, whereas hurricanes can persist for days or even weeks.
