An earthquake is a shaking of the earths crust usually caused by interactions between tectonic plates or by the movement of magma within a volcano. They have nothing to do with weather or climate
Tornadoes and tropical storms have more in common as they are both weather events. However, they are different from each other.
A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of 39-73 mph. They are large, self sustaining weather systems that form over tropical ocean water.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. They are small by weather standards and depend on a larger storm in order to exist. They can form almost anywhere but are most prevalent on land in temperate climates. Except for the weak ones, tornadoes are more violent than tropical storms.
What else can I help you with?
Can a tornado happen after an earthquake?
It is unlikely for a tornado to occur immediately after an earthquake. Tornadoes are typically caused by severe thunderstorms, while earthquakes result from the movement of tectonic plates. However, unusual weather patterns or phenomena following an earthquake could potentially lead to tornado formation.
Is a tornado stronger than a tropical storm?
No. A tornado is worse than an earthquake because it is VERY unlikely you will be in the spot the earthquake mainly hits (the ripping/open ground which people are most worried about.) Places where earthquakes usually hit are usually built to stand a 7 or lower point earthquake. Tornadoes, however, you can not save your valuables and the tornado keeps moving, unlike an earthquake. Tornadoes are very much worse
Which continent has never had a typhoon and tornado?
Antarctica has never recorded a tornado or a tropical cyclone (hurricane or typhoon).
What is tornado air pressure?
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.
Which is the odd one out and why tropical cyclone tornado hurricane typhoon?
The odd one out is a tornado. Hurricanes and typhoons are both strong tropical cyclones and their own weather systems. A tornado is neither tropical nor a cyclone, but is instead a small-scale weather event that is dependent on a larger parent storm.
What does the most damage a tropical storm a tornado an earthquake or a tsunami?
tsunami
What is similar between a tornado and an earthquake?
They are both natural disasters.
What is the difference between a tornado and a tsunami?
An incredible difference. The only similarity between the two is that they are made natural causes. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air produced by a thunderstorm. A tsunami is a large ocean wave or series of waves produced by a non wind related event. Often that event is an earthquake or a volcanic eruption.
What is the strongest hurricane or earthquake or tornado?
earthquake
Why is a tornado stronger than an earthquake?
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
Is there a difference between a tornado and a twister?
No. Twister is just an informal word for a tornado.
What is the difference between a strong and a violent tornado?
A strong tornado is one that is EF2 or stronger. A violent tornado is one that is EF4 or EF5.
What is the difference between a twister and a tornado?
There is none; twister and tornado are two words for the same thing. Tornado is the preferred scientific term.
What is the difference between a tornado or flood?
A Tornado is swirly fast wind, a flood is rising water levels...
Which is stronger a Tornado or an Earthquake?
In terms of energy output an earthquake is stronger.
What is a difference between a tornado drill and a tornado warning?
A tornado drill is like a fire drill but for tornadoes: practice for the possibility of a tornado. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been detected or is likely to form soon.
Can there be tropical tornado storms?
Depends on what you mean. Tornadoes can occur in the tropics, and tropical storms can produce tornadoes, but a tropical storm and a tornado are two very different things.
