Is it possible for typhoon to cross the equator and continue as typhoon or does the equator change the effect of the storm?

A tropical cyclone, (i.e. a hurricane or typhoon) could not cross the equator. All cyclones depend on the Coriolis force in order to spin. The Coriolis force is greatest at the poles and nonexistent at the equator. A tropical cyclone that approaches the equator would likely degenerate into a disorganized cluster of thunderstorms. Such an event would be unusual in any case as the general wind pattern tends to steer tropical cyclones away from the equator rather than toward it.

How the gravitational acceleration will change when you move from equator to north or south pole on the surface of earth?
It will increase very slightly at the poles compared to the equator, because the Earth's radius at the poles is slightly less than it is at the equator.
How does the temperature change as current move towards the equator?
Why does the moon cross the equator twice each lunar month?
The moon crosses the equator twice each lunar month due to the moon's change of declination.
Is Fibroadenoma with Fibrocystic Change Cancerous?
It is possible; continue to have regular mammograms.
Is a typhoon a chemical change?
No, a typhoon is a physical structure energized by the latent heat of phase changes involving water.
Does the time change as you go north or south of the equator?
In general, no, the time does not change as you cross the equator.
Did mass change when you move from equator to poles?
No. Your mass doesn't even change when you move from the equator to the moon.
Is it true that at the equator day length does not change?
yes. All the way around the equator the day length doesn't change.

Does Earth's gravity change as you get closer to the equator?
no =)
Where on earth do the temperatures change very little from season to season?
Near the equator.Near the equator.Near the equator.Near the equator.
Where do you have the least temperature change between seasons?
At the equator.
Why is the temperature change small at the equator?
The earth's axis is tilted. When it goes around the sun, the equator stays the same distance from the sun, so the temperature doesn't change much.

A small change that may create a large change elsewhere?
uh....this is the fundamental concept of chaos theory. A butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil and causes a typhoon in Japan.
