'Cyclone' is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. These tropical storms are called 'cyclones' in the Southern Hemisphere, and they rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere, where cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean, they are called hurricanes and those in the South China Sea and regions of Asia are called typhoons. Northern hemisphere cyclones rotate anti-clockwise, so are sometimes called "anti-cyclones".

Do cyclones occur on the moon?

No, cyclones do not occur on the moon. Cyclones are large-scale rotating storms that are driven by temperature differences in the Earth's atmosphere, which the moon lacks due to its lack of atmosphere.


Are cyclones manmade or natural?

Cyclones are natural phenomena caused by atmospheric conditions, primarily warm ocean waters, humidity, and wind patterns. They form over tropical oceans and are influenced by factors like temperature and pressure differences. While human activities, such as climate change, may affect the intensity and frequency of cyclones, the cyclones themselves are not manmade.


What are cyclones called in Europe?

No. Cyclones are similar to hurricanes.


How do cyclones move?

Cyclones move due to a combination of the Earth's rotation, atmospheric pressure differences, and steering flow from surrounding weather systems. The Coriolis effect causes cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere to veer to the right while those in the Southern Hemisphere veer to the left, resulting in their characteristic spiral movement. Additionally, cyclones can be influenced by high and low-pressure systems, jet streams, and other weather phenomena as they travel across the globe.


Hurricanes are in some ways like mid-latitude?

Hurricanes and mid-latitude cyclones are both large-scale weather systems driven by temperature and pressure differences. However, hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and are powered by latent heat release from condensation, while mid-latitude cyclones form along weather fronts and are fueled by temperature contrasts in the atmosphere. Additionally, hurricanes are more common in tropical regions, while mid-latitude cyclones occur in temperate regions.
