In the Northern Hemisphere, tropical cyclones rotate counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, they rotate clockwise.
a tropical storm.. if it was a hurricane-status in the atlantic, it would be called a typhoon.
A hurricane is a type of cyclone, specifically a tropical cyclone that forms over warm ocean waters. These storms have low pressure systems at their centers and spin counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, an anticyclone is a high-pressure system where air descends and rotates clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
a tropical cyclone occurring in the western Pacific or Indian oceans
It's hurricane. NOT a Typhoon
Yes, Cyclone Tracy was a tropical cyclone.
A tornado in the southern hemisphere is still called a tornado.

as hurricane , in Western Atlantic Ocean and Eastern Pacific Coast as Willi Willies in Australia as Typhoon in (Japan) West Pacific and China Sea as Cyclone in the Indian Ocean and the bay of Bengal
The Coriolis force is required for a cyclone to form into a tropical cyclone or hurricane. The force causes a greater deflection of the air (right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern) and the correct speeds for the tropical cyclone to form. Hence why tropical cyclones do not form at or within 5 degrees of the equator, and cease to exist at around 35 degrees north, or 15 degrees south.
