Hurricanes & Tornadoes

There are many winds in the world. There are differences between them in speed, average width of storm, and starting point. I will write about hurricanes and tornadoes.

For starters, hurricanes are speedier than tornadoes. The minimum speed for a hurricane is 74 mph and the maximum speed between 155-200 mph; however for a tornado the minimum speed is 40 mph and the maximum speed between 250-300 mph. The duration for the hurricane is one week average, while, for a tornado it lasts mostly a few minutes, and some up to a few hours. The width of a hurricane is 300 miles, whereas that of a tornado is about 100-600 meters. The hurricane starts over warm oceans, but the tornado usually over land.

In summary, there are differences between the hurricanes and tornadoes. A tornado is stronger than a hurricane in terms of wind speed.
