Hurricanes weaken when they move over land.
Hurricanes develop over warm ocean water. Tornadoes usually form over land.
Minnesota gets tornadoes but not hurricanes. Hurricanes form over wam ocean water and do not last very long over land. Minnesota is much too far from the ocean.
Hurricanes develop over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land.
Springfield, Illinois does get tornadoes as Illinois is in a tornado-prone region. Springfield cannot get hurricanes, nor can anywhere in Illinois, as hurricanes cannot maintain their strength over land.
Hurricanes and tornadoes both exhibit rotational movement; hurricanes spin in a cyclonic pattern due to the Earth's rotation and form over warm ocean waters, while tornadoes typically develop from thunderstorms on land. Hurricanes require warm ocean water to strengthen, whereas tornadoes can occur over land or water but generally form in severe weather conditions. Both phenomena are distinct in their formation processes and locations, with hurricanes being larger and more sustained than tornadoes.

No. Hurricanes start over water and tornadoes are on land.
Tornadoes generally form over land and whether they are on land or over water has little effect on their intensity. It is a hurricane that weakens as it hits land.

Tornadoes develop over land, typically in the central United States within a specific type of thunderstorm called a supercell. Hurricanes develop over warm ocean waters near the equator, usually in the Atlantic Ocean. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are powerful natural disasters capable of causing significant damage.
Hurricanes usually dissipate when they are cut off from the warm ocean water that fuels them through evaporation. This usually happens when the storm moves over land or colder water. Wind shear can also greatly weaken a hurricane. How tornadoes dissipate is not fully understood, but it is believed that outflow from a thunderstorm (either the one that produced the tornado or a separate storm) wraps around the parent circulation (mesocyclone) of the tornado, and essentially choking off the supply of warm air that drives the updraft.
Tornadoes can form over just about any sort of terrain but tend to be more common in flat or gently rolling areas. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water.
Hurricanes do not form over land; they require warm ocean waters as a primary energy source. Once a hurricane moves over land, it typically weakens due to the loss of this energy source and the increased friction from land.
Hurricanes form over warm ocean water. Tornadoes can form just about anywhere.
Fog. When wind blows over land, it can disrupt the temperature and moisture balance needed for fog to form, weakening its presence.
