Question
two of the most fascinating weather events are hurricanes and tornadoes. hurricanes and tornadoes alike are swirling storms that contain powerful rotating winds. tornadoes form over land, and hurricanes, by contrast, form over warm bodies of water. once formed, tornadoes can last up to an hour and are usually no more than a quarter of a mile wide. hurricanes, though, can last up to three weeks. they are also much larger: hurricanes may be as vast as a few hundred miles wide. these two kinds of storms can both cause a great deal of damage, especially if people ignore forecasters warnings. unfortunately, while people can detect incoming hurricanes up to a few days in advance, tornado warnings come fifteen to thirty minutes beforehand at most. that doesnt leave a lot of time to prepare for dangerous weather!
| tornadoes | hurricanes | |
|---|---|---|
| form over water | ||
| can last up to three weeks | ||
| normally no more than a quarter - mile wide | ||
| warning systems can detect them several days in advance |
