"Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons (but not tornadoes). They are natural disasters because they form purely by natural means, e.g. weather conditions, and they cause disaster when they reach land, having strong, destructive winds.

Difference between manmade disasters and natural disasters?

Natural disasters are caused by natural events, often relating to weather or geologic forces, which are generally beyond human control. Examples include tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and most floods. Human disasters are the result of human actions and practices and may be intentional or unintentional. Examples include war, terrorist attacks, plane crashes, spills and leaks of oil or hazardous materials, and many fires. Some disasters are mixed, having both natural and human causes. It often involves a natural disaster being greatly exacerbated by conditions created by humans. One classic examples would be the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. It started with a severe drought in the central and southwestern United States, a natural event. Poor farming practices, however, made it so that failed crops exposed loose soil broken up by plows, resulting in severe soil erosion and massive dust storms.
