What are the similarities of a hurricane and a typhoon?

Answer 1

Tornadoes, Hurricanes , Typhoons and Willy Willies are the same meteorological phenomenon. they are just given different names in different parts of the word.

They are characterised by very low pressure at the eye, with extremely strong winds and heavy rain around the .eye..

Answer 2

Hurricanes and tornadoes are both natural disasters that produce powerful, destructive winds that spiral cyclonically inwards via low pressure (clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere).

Hurricanes have a calm, clear eye at the center of rotation and it is believed that many tornadoes have a similar feature.

Both have scales for rating intensity:

• Tornadoes are rated on the Fujita scale from F0 to F5 based on damage, some countries, including the United States have upgraded to the Enhanced Fujita scale (EF0 to EF5).
• Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale from Category 1 to Category 5.

Answer 3

CyclonesBoth are cyclonic storms that cover great areas of the Earth's surface and can cause great devastation because of their high winds and the tornadoes they frequently spawn.

And they both come from the ocean.

Answer 4

Tornadoes and typhoons are alike in that they feature extreme winds. Typhoons generally couple extreme winds with torrential rains, and are actually the southern-hemisphere counterparts to hurricanes. Tornadoes, however, are not associated with rain.

Answer 5

They are the same type of storm.

The only difference is that Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific east of the International Date Line while typhoons occur in the Pacific west of the International Date Line.

Both hurricanes and Typhoons are classified as tropical cyclones with maximum sustained wind of at least 74 mph (119 km/h).

Answer 6

Hurricanes and typhoons are the same type of storm. Both are tropical cyclone with winds of at least 74 mph. The only difference is that a hurricane is in the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific while a Typhoon is in the western Pacific.

Answer 7

A hurricane and a typhoon are really the same thing, only occurring in different regions. Both are tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. They are called hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific Ocean north of the equator, while they are called typhoons in the western Pacific north of the equator. They are a subtype of cyclone.

A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system with a circulation of air that blows counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise if it is in the southern. This is called cyclonic rotation. Most cyclones are not as severe as hurricanes or typhoons.

Like a cyclone, a tornado produces low pressure and, in most cases, cyclonically rotating winds, though in very rate cases a tornado can have anticyclonic rotation, meaning it spins in the opposite direction. Like hurricanes, typhoons, and some other cyclones tornadoes produce powerful, often destructive winds. However tornadoes are not cyclones because they are small-scale circulations rather than large-scale storm systems. A typical tornado lasts a few minutes and very few last over an hour. Cyclones usually last for days.

Answer 8

Hurricanes and typhoons are the exact same kind of storm. The only difference is in location. Both are defined as tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. A tropical cyclone is a large-scale tropical storm system that forms over warm ocean water and has organized convection, and a definite circulation of wind.

A hurricane is such a storm in the northern hemisphere either in the Atlantic Ocean or the eastern Pacific. A typhoon is such a storm in the northern hemisphere in the western Pacific.

Answer 9

They are both powerful storms that can damage thing and also kill you
