Hurricanes & Tornadoes

As you can see this table is showing two things which are hurricanes and tornadoes. Now in this essay I’m going to explain and to write about the differences and the similarities between them.

First of all Tornadoes differ from Hurricanes by the place they originate from. Tornadoes are triggered on land at first while hurricanes start over warm oceans. The prediction scales used to compare those two are the Saffir- Simpson C1- C5 which measures hurricanes and the Fujita F0 – F5 which measures tornadoes. Hurricanes usually have a range of 300 miles while tornadoes range between 100 to 600 meters and up to 1.5 kilometers. At minimum speed Tornadoes seem to be slower than hurricanes however when referring to the maximum velocity they appear to overcome the hurricanes with a speed of 250 – 300 miles per hour.

In conclusion, hurricanes look more dangerous than tornadoes according to the table features. They are bigger, affect a larger area and last longer than tornadoes
