A Correct answer
Explanation

Tornadoes are much smaller in diameter but far more intense in wind speed than hurricanes. They are short-lived phenomena, usually lasting less than an hour, and most frequently occur in the afternoon when atmospheric instability is highest. Statement 2 is incorrect because tornadoes are rare in India; the eastern coast is primarily affected by tropical cyclones.
