No. A typhoon is neither underwater, not a tornado. Rather, a typhoon is essentially the same thing as a hurricane. It is a large and intense tropical storm system that brings powerful winds, torrential rain, and large waves. A typhoon is much larger than a tornado and is its own self-sustaining weather system.
Antarctica has never recorded a tornado or a tropical cyclone (hurricane or typhoon).
well, technically they ARE natural disasters, but the specific damage they cause is water/flood damage and wind damage
No. Antarctica is too cold for tornadoes and especially typhoons.
A typhoon is a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph ocurring in the Pacfic Ocean north of the equator and west of 180 degrees. This means a typhoon is the same thing as a hurricane, only occurring in a different part of the world.A tornado is a violently rotating column of air connecting to the base of a thunderstorm to the ground.Differences between typhoons and tornadoesA typhoon is its own self-sustaining storm system while a tornado is dependent on a larger parent storm cell, which in turn is usually part of a larger sytem.A typhoon is a large-scale system typically a few hundred miles across while a tornado is a small-scale vortex typically no more than a few hundred yards wide.A typhoon takes several days to form and will last for days, sometimes weeks. A tornado typically lasts a few minutes, and rarely more than an hour.A typhoon can only form over warm ocean water, while a tornado usually forms over land.A typhoon causes damage though a combination of powerful winds and flooding from storm surge and heavy rain. A tornado causes damage through wind and debris carried by the wind.Unlike a typhoon, a tornado does not produce rain, though is usually accompanied by it.Tornadoes can produce far stronger winds than typhoons, in some cases exceeding 300 mph.Surface level winds in a typhoon are mostly horizontal, while wind in a tornado has a significant upward component.Wind shear is needed to produce tornadoes, but will cause a typhoon to fall apart.A tornado is often made visible by a characteristic condensation funnel, which is not somthng that occurs with a typhoon.Similarities:Both produce powerful, damaging windsBoth rotate in a cyclonic fashion, that is counterclockwise for those in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. A typhoon, by definition, occurs in the northern hemisphere, but the same type of storms do occur in the southern hemisphere,only going by different names.The winds in both revolve around a center of low pressure.Both have some upward movement of air.Both get their energy from warm, moist air, though it is less direct for tornadoes.
Warm ocean water increases the supply of water vapor that the typhoon needs.
Antarctica has never experienced typhoons or tornadoes due to its extreme cold temperatures and lack of typical weather patterns that can create these weather events.
Antarctica has never had a typhoon or tornado, at least not for millions of years.
Antarctica has never recorded a tornado or a tropical cyclone (hurricane or typhoon).
Yes. Antarctica has never had a tornado or tropical cyclone.

Typhoon, Flood, Earthquake, Tornado and many more.
The only continent that has never has a recorded tornado or tropical cyclone is Antarctica.
A hurricane and a typhoon are the same strength, as they are the same type of storm only occurring in different regions. They are a kind of cyclone. Overall, a hurricane or typhoon is stronger than other varieties of cyclone. Due to their large size, such cyclone will release more energy than a tornado, but a tornado has stronger winds.
