No. A tsunami and a tornado are two completely different things. A tsunami is a large wave or series of waves usually triggered by an underwater earthquake or landslide. A tornado is a violent vortex of air that forms during a thunderstorm. A tornado that forms on water is called a waterspout.
What else can I help you with?
What is worse a tsunami or a tornado and why?
How bad a tsunami or tornado is varies between individual events, but tsunamis are generally worse. While the worst damage of a tornado is usually limited to a small area, a tsunami can easily decimate hundreds of miles of coastline. The worst winds of a tornado usually only affect a given spot for a few seconds. Footage of the 2011 tsunami in Japan show that, in some places, water surged inland for as long as 15 minutes and took even longer to recede. Additionally, water is much denser than air and so can carry much more force. In a tornado you will probably escape harm if you have a few walls to shield you from the wind and debris. In a tsunami, even if you are not injured by the force of the water and debris, you can still drown.
Why does TSUNAMI start with the letter T?
The word "Tsunami" comes from the Japanese words "tsu" (harbor) and "nami" (wave), as tsunamis are typically generated by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions that cause powerful ocean waves. The "T" in tsunami reflects its origin and pronunciation in the Japanese language.
Are there more than one warning for tsunamis like there is for a tornado?
Yes. There is a tsunami watch is issued if a tsunami may impact an area. A tsunami advisory is issued if a tsunami poses a threat to areas in or along the water. A tsunami warning is issued if a tsunami is expected to cause widespread flooding.
Can a tornado start a tsunami?
It would be sheer coincidence if they did. A tornado is primarily a land storm. There can be a tornado over the surface of water (called a waterspout), but either way, tornadoes have nothing to do with tsunamis, which are caused by undersea quake movements.
What is the analogy of Tsunami is to water as cyclone is to?
Tornado. Both are intense weather phenomena characterized by powerful swirling winds, but a tornado occurs on land while a cyclone (hurricane or typhoon) occurs over water.
Would you rather ride a tsunami OR ride a tornado?
a tsunami for sure, a tornado is just going to throw me to the united states, riding a tsunami has better chances of living than a tornado
Who will win tornado or tsunami?

Is a tsunami similar to a waterspout?
no a tsunami a large wave or series of waves is caused by a large shifting of mass all at once displacing ocean water. A water spout is essentially a tornado (in simplest terms a powerful vortex of air) that occurs on water.
What is the analogy of Tsunami is to water as cyclone is to?
Tornado. Both are intense weather phenomena characterized by powerful swirling winds, but a tornado occurs on land while a cyclone (hurricane or typhoon) occurs over water.
Are tsunamis more dangerous then tornado's?
i think a tsunami is more dangerous then a tornado because a tsunami is a seaquake that causes huge waves the waves are so big it could bring all the water to land the pressure of the water can destroy houses and bring people and things to sea theres no safety for tsunami.a tornado is a huge spriling wind that comes down from the sky sometimes tornadoes are called whirl winds it would be safer to have a tornado coming.
