They have some similarties, but there are also major differences. Both hurricanes and tornadoes are violent storms with winds that rotate around a center of low pressure. Both can be deadly and very destructive. However, they operate on completely different scales. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm. Hurricanes produce substantial flooding through rain and storm surge, while a tornado is entirely a wind phenomenon.
The barometric pressure at a tornado is very low, just like in a hurricane. It is also believed that many tornadoes have a relatively calm center where ari descends. This is similar to the eye of a hurricane.
No, a hurricane is not a tornado over water. A tornado and a hurricane are quite different. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm pressure system, typically hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm rarely over a mile wide. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.
Zero. If you are killed in a hurricane, you are already dead, so you can't be killed by a tornado.
A tornado and a hurricane cannot "combine" as they operate on different scales. It is fairly common for tornadoes to produce tornadoes.
Of these, tornadoes have the shortest duration.
The eye of a tornado is a relatively calm area that can sometimes be found at the tornado's center, similar to the ey of a hurricane.
Both produce intense low pressure.
Yes. Some tornadoes have a feature similar to the eye of a hurricane.
In many cases the center of a tornado will be a calm area similar to the eye of a hurricane, albeit much smaller.
Yes. Many tornadoes have a calm center similar to the eye of a hurricane.
It can't. A hurricane can't become a tornado.
No, a hurricane is a huge storm hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is tiny by comparison.
The duration of Hurricane Ivan tornado outbreak is 48 hours.
The duration of Hurricane Georges tornado outbreak is 144 hours.
a tornado because of when it hit it it keeps going but a hurricane will stop at land
