What is another name for a tropical cyclone or hurricane?
A typhoon or a cyclonic storm.
Why are hurricanes and tornadoes both a cyclone?
Technically, tornadoes are not cyclones. A cyclone is a weather system that consists of a low-pressure area with cyclonic rotation, meaning counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. A hurricane meets all of these standards. A tornado is a low pressure area with an organized cyclonic rotation, but it is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm, not large-scale independent weather system.
Why are tornadoes and hurricanes considered cyclones?
A cyclone is a large-scale low-pressure weather system with an organized cyclonic circulation (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern). A hurricane meets all these characteristics, and is more specifically a tropical cyclone. Tornadoes are sometimes called cyclone, but this is not entirely correct. A tornado is a low pressure area with an organized cyclonic circulation, but it is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm.
What is a hurricane that occurs in Asia?
That depends on where it is. If it is in the Pacific it is a Typhoon. If it is in the Indian Ocean it is called a tropical cyclone, or a severe cyclonic storm.
Is a hurricane bigger than a middle latitude cyclonic storm?
Yes, a hurricane is generally larger in size and more intense than a middle latitude cyclonic storm. Hurricanes typically form over warm tropical waters and can have sustained winds of 74 mph or higher, whereas middle latitude cyclonic storms form in higher latitudes and have lower wind speeds.
Do thunderstorms with lighting have strong cyclonic winds spinning counterclockwise?
No. Most thunderstorms do not rotate, nor do they necessarily produce strong winds. A thunderstorm with strong rotation is called a supercell. A supercell in the northern hemisphere will rotate counterclockwise, but one in the southern hemisphere will rotate clockwise. The same is true of all cyclonic storms.
What is most famous thing about Jupiter?
The Great red Spot which is a anti-cyclonic hurricane much like ones on earth but much stronger and spin at a different axis
What are the cyclonic affected areas of north America?
Southern Mexico, all of Central America and the Caribbean. These areas have a hurricane season from June until October each year.
What hurricane was named after the letter L?
Hurricanes are violent, tropical, cyclonic storms of the western North Atlantic. Some hurricane names that began with L are Leslie, Lenny and Luis.
Are hurricane generally smaller than mid-Atlantic cyclones?
No all tropical storms rated as Hurricanes, Cyclones or Typhoons are stronger than any normal cyclonic storm.
Does a hurricane have a geologic human or weather cause?
it has a weather cause. ----- The cause of a hurricane is warm water providing power to rising heated air, which produces a cyclonic set of winds because of the rotation of the earth. I would say geologic is the best description of these three.
What is cyclonic floods?
Cyclonic flooding occurs when the wind from the cyclone causes large masses of water to be displaced. This normally happens near oceans where cyclones will cause waves to become higher and more harsh.
