Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause damage through a combination of very strong winds, and debris carried by those winds. Hurricanes can also cause damage through flooding as a result of heavy rain and the storm surge.

What causes damages through hurricanes?

Hurricanes can cause damage in a number of ways. The wind itself is strong enough to damage or destroy structures and topple trees. Hurricane waves can damage boats and harbors. This is enhanced by the storm surge, in which water is driven onto land by the wind, causing severe coastal flooding. At the same time, torrential rain from a hurricane can causes severe inland flooding. Soil loosened by heavy rain can cause landslides. The outer storm bands of a hurricane can contain severe thunderstorms capable of producing strong wind gusts, hail, lightning, and tornadoes.


How Can there be a tornado and a hurricane at the same time?

It is not possible for a tornado and a hurricane to occur simultaneously in the same location. Tornadoes can occur within hurricanes, but they typically form in different ways and under different conditions. Hurricane-force winds can cause tornadoes to develop in the outer bands of the storm.


What damage can tornadoes cause?

There are two basic ways in which tornadoes cause damage. First, the wind in a tornado carries an enormous amount of force, which can damage tor destroy structures and vegetation. Second, debris carried by a tornado can cause significant damage on impact.


Describe some positive and negative ways in which hurricanes may affect plants?

Positive: Hurricanes can help disperse plant seeds over a wider area, promoting genetic diversity and aiding in plant regeneration. They can also bring much-needed rainfall to drought-stricken regions, benefiting plant growth. Negative: Hurricanes can uproot or damage plants, leading to loss of biodiversity and habitat destruction. Excessive wind, rain, and flooding can also cause soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and physical damage to plant structures.


Hurricanes are in some ways like mid latitude?

Cyclones or lows

they can both flood a town and kill you (not to be scaring anyone) hehehe:D


What does an tornado do that a earthquake does?

Both tornadoes and earthquakes can damage or destroy buildings and infrastructure and can kill and injure people. However they cause damage in different ways.


Are tornadoes and hurricanes alike in many different ways?

No, they are similar in only a few basic ways. Both rotate cyclonically, that is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern, both produce intense low baromretric pressure, and both produce very strong winds. In other factors such as size, duration, and formation, they are very different.

What are four ways earthquakes can cause damage?

It can cause damage to life and property. It can also lead to tsunami in seas.


Name two ways both hurricanes and tornadoes cause damage?

Tornadoes destroy property in two ways. Powerful winds can tear apart or collapse structures. Second, the winds can carry objects at high speeds, this flying debris can make damage more severe than the wind alone.


What are three ways that hurricanes can cause damage?

1. a big flood 2.tsunamis 3. and if oil gets leaked into the ocean lots of animals would die.


What damage do hurricanes and tornadoes cause?

Hurricanes cause damage in a variety of ways. The powerful winds of a hurricane can damage roofs and siding, bring down trees and power lines, and destroy some weak structures. These winds also drive seawater onto land, which causes major coastal flooding. The force of the waves and storm surge can wipe out coastal areas. Torrential rainfall from hurricanes can cause severe inland flooding. Tornadoes have extremely intense rotating winds that can be much stronger than those in a hurricane. Unlike the vast majority of hurricanes, the winds of many tornadoes are strong enough to destroy well-built structures, sometimes completely obliterating them. Damage in a tornado can range from minor loss of singles and siding, to entire neighborhoods being blown away.

How is a tsunami the same as a thunderstorm?

A thunderstorm and a tsunami are two very different phenomena. Both can be dangerous and can cause damage and flooding, but in completely different ways Both release large amounts of energy. Other than that they are completely different.
