Tropical cyclones in the Atlantic are known as hurricanes. They rotate anti-clockwise, rather than clockwise like cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere.
Americans tend to call them Hurricanes and in Asia they usually call the Typhoons.
In the Pacific they are called typhoons. Generically, hurricanes and typhoons are both tropical cyclones. A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal, synoptic scale, low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation.
In the Atlantic and eastern Pacific regions, cyclones are called hurricanes in the United States and some areas of the Caribbean. In the western Pacific and southeastern Indian Ocean, cyclones are typically referred to as typhoons, while in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean they are known as cyclones.
tropical cyclones are called "hurricanes" in the North Atlantic Ocean and Eastern and Central Pacific Ocean east of the international dateline. They are called "typhoons" or sometimes "super typhoons" if they are really strong in the Pacific Ocean west of the dateline. They are known as "cyclones" in the North Indian Ocean and in the Southern hemisphere
Scientists call them ecosystems because they are all around the world an an ecosystem is made up of all biotic and abiotic factors.
Cyclones
It depends on 3 things.They must be tropicalThey must produce sustained winds of at least 74 mphThey must occur in the potion east of the International Date Line and north of the equatorStorms of the same type west of the date line are called typhoons and ones south of the equator are called cyclones. The only country in the world that has hurricanes on the Pacific Ocean is Mexico, no other, none, we have them all, you like everybody else have them over our gulf, The Gulf of Mexico, but we have the largest Pacific sea board in America, so we get all the storms which we always call Huricanes.
cyclones effect mostly people in the southern hemisphere because people in the northern hemisphere call them hurricanes
Informally some people do call them cyclones, by this is technically incorrect. While they share some traits, tornadoes and cyclones are different types of weather pattern.
Yes to all three. Note, though that the storms that we call hurricanes are only called hurricanes in the Atlantic and parts of the Pacific in the northern hemisphere. When they occur around Australia they are called cyclones.
Typhoons are known as tropical cyclones (or just "cyclones") in Australia.Cyclone is the generic name for all of these tropical disturbances forming from intense low pressure systems. They are called "cyclone" in Australian waters, and rotate clockwise. Typhoons are actually just cyclones which form in Asian waters and the China Sea, whilst the same phenomena in the Americas are called hurricanes.
The hurricanes, are also know as typhoon's, but the word hurricane, is western, it comes from the ancient Olmecs, who had a wind god, called huracan, so when the Spanish saw the storm, they used the local word for it, and it is in use to this day.
