Hurricanes are enormous convective systems that produce thunderstorms. Because of friction, low-level wind speeds in a hurricane are slower than those in the higher levels. Such a condition is called wind shear. In some cases, this can cause some of the thunderstorms in the storm bands of a hurricane to start rotating. This rotation can then lead to the formation of tornadoes.

Have there ever been hurricanes or tornadoes in Connecticut?
Connecticut can experience tornadoes, but they are relatively rare compared to states in the Midwest and central US. Hurricanes can also impact Connecticut, typically as they move up the East Coast, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. However, the state is not as prone to direct hits as states further south along the coast.
How a storm like a hurricane or a tornado speed up the process of erosion?
Hurricanes often cause severe flooding. The water moving over land causes erosion. Waves from hurricanes can erode beaches. The winds in tornadoes have sometimes been known to scour soil away, but this is rare, only occurring in the most violent tornadoes. Both tornadoes and hurricanes can destroy trees and other vegetation, which leaves the soil vulnerable to erosion.
Does the funnel of the hurricane send air from the bottom up towards the sky?
Hurricanes don't have funnels; tornadoes do. However, in both cases air moves up from the surface.
Do tornadoes have weaker winds than hurricanes?
No, tornadoes can produce winds faster than in any hurricane. There is actually a substantial amount of overlap between hurricane and tornado winds. Winds for an EF0 tornado start at 65 mph and winds in the strongest tornadoes have been recorded at 302 mph. Hurricane force winds start at 74 mph. Hurricanes have had sustained winds as fast as 190 mph with gusts recorded up to 253 mph.
Is a hurricane bad or a tornado?
Both natural disasters are equally terrible. Magnitude may affect how badly humans, animals, and the environment are affected. Hurricanes are classified by wind speed... A Category 1 hurricane would have winds up to 95 mph winds, while a Category 5 hurricane would have greater than 156 mph winds. A tornado is classified a little differently... according to the Fujita Scale, a tornado is classified by damage. Both a hurricane and a tornado have the potential to cause an equal amount of damage; a tornado might be more concentrated, while a hurricane could be more widespread. Overall, though, hurricanes can cause more damage. There have been many more hurricanes that caused over $1 billion in damage than tornadoes with the same amount, and more hurricanes than tornadoes with death tolls over 500.
Does Maryland have tornadoes or hurricanes?
There have been tornadoes in Maryland, including some very strong ones. Hurricanes are possibility too. Part of Maryland is by the ocean, and that is the part that could get a hurricane. Typically though hurricanes do not hit that high up the East coast.
Are there hurricanes or tornadoes in Germany?
Germany does not typically experience hurricanes due to its inland location and cooler climate. Tornadoes are rare but can occur, with an average of about 30 reported annually, usually with less intensity compared to tornadoes in regions like the United States.
In general what regions or areas are hurricanes or tornadoes most likely to occur?
Hurricanes and tornadoes are a common occurrence especially during the warmer months of the year in the United States. Typically Hurricanes target the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the country. Tornadoes can spring up in every part of the country but are usually focused in the south and central areas of the country.
In what layer of the atmosphere do tornadoes and hurricanes occur?
Tornadoes occur in the lower atmosphere, specifically in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather events typically occur. Hurricanes occur slightly higher up in the troposphere, usually in the lower part of the troposphere where the conditions are conducive for their formation.

Are hurricanes and tornadoes brothers?
No. They are actually considered 'sisters'. They both have holes in the middle, blow just about anything, and basically mess everything up in the process.
Do tornadoes have weaker winds than hurricanes?

Can hurricanes and tornadoes over lakes propagate fish to new lakes and rivers?
Probably not. First of all, hurricanes can only form over ocean sized bodies of water, not lakes or rivers. It may be possible for ocean fish to be transported to a lake by the storm surge, but they die quickly in the low-salinity water. Tornadoes have been known to pick up fish, and occasionally larger animals, out of lakes and rivers, but they don't survive the trip.
What are the top 10 reasons for habitat reduction?
1.people cutting down trees 2. people having new buisnesses and taking up land 3.tornadoes 4. hurricanes 5. floods
