Some storms can be very dangerous. Part A – Describe the
features of a hurricane. Part B – Compare a hurricane to a
tornado. Explain how they are alike and different.
a. A hurricane is a huge storm that forms over the ocean.
Hurricanes have heavy rainfall, strong winds, and produce
huge waves. They also build up and wind down gradually.
Hurricanes and tornados are similar because they both are
dangerous storms that have strong winds. However,
tornados do not form over the ocean or produce huge
waves. Tornados also form very quickly, unlike hurricanes.
