Tornadoes form when thunderstorms take on rotation as a result of interactions with wind shear. This rotation can tighten and intensify to produce a tornado.

Hurricanes develop when storm systems move out over warm ocean water, organize, and intensify.

Cyclones are simply low pressure systems, they are generally simply areas of rising air that is warmer than its surroundings. Air spirals inward cyclonically, that is clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. This is due to the Coriolis effect.
