Its vortex, meters in diameter, rotates counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere, with wind speeds of to more than kilometres per hour. A hurricane is a large storm system that forms in the atmosphere over warm ocean water. A tsunami is large set of waves triggered by some sort of vertical movement of rocks under water earthquake, large landslide, volcanic explosion.
Both of them can be very severe when it comes to impacting humans, but overall hurricanes have probably caused more damage and deaths. We have seen in the last month today is January 11th, that a large tsunami can kill more than , people and do untold damage, but hurricanes are a lot more common and have killed about , people in the last 50 years most of them in low-lying Bangladesh. Hurricanes have very strong winds spinning around the center of the storm.
These winds push up a mound of water called a "storm surge". However, the best defense against both hurricanes and tsunamis is early warning systems easier for hurricanes and leaving coastal areas when instructed by authorities or in the case of a tsunami - as soon as the earth stops shaking, leave the beach!
A hurricane is a storm in the atmosphere; a tsunami is a huge tidal wave in the ocean, caused by a large under thrusting earthquake.
