The 'ingredients' that go into these tropospheric turbulences are the same, however, the 'amount' of the ingredients are different. So is the surface area. It takes far more water vapor to support a hurricane than a tornado.
But.
Both are a result of vortices formed by heat driven tropospheric conditions. Tornadoes normally form over land while hurricanes form over oceans and dissipate over land.
The most common factor with these storms and their OCCURRENCE is 'Wind Shear.'
While those that benefit by 'explaining away' global warming in relation to 'weather' are served by separating the subjects and referring to ISOLATED incidences of past turbulence that are similar, the fact of the matter cannot be explained away, that "Wind Shear" serves to increase the occurrence of tornadoes and their frequency and number while it decreases that of hurricanes.
