What is the biggest tornado on Saturn?
There is no evidence of actual tornadoes on Saturn. However, there is an 8,000 km (5,000 mile) wide polar cyclone over Saturn's south pole.
What is the difference between these blizzard tornado cyclone hurricane?
To start off, a cyclone is a large-scale low-pressure system with a closed circulation and a definec center of rotation. Cyclones come in several varieties includint tropical cyclone, mid-latitude cyclones, and polar lows. They bring various forms of stormy weather. A hurricane is an intense tropical cyclone ocurring in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific Oceans and producing sustained winds of at least 74 mph. A hurricane is primarily a warm-weather phenomenon that brings intense wind, torrentail rain, and often severe flooding. Hurricanes can only deveop over warm-ocean water. A blizzard is an intense snowstorm that produces winds to at least 35 mph and reduces visibility to less than 1/4 mile. Most blizzards are related to mid-latitude cyclones or polar lows. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground, and is often made vissible by a funnel cloud. Unlike the other phenomena listed, a tornado is a small-scale, short-lived event but is the most violent of all of them.
What is a polar vortex?
A polar vortex is also known as an Arctic Cyclone or Polar Hurricane and is a large scale cyclone located near the poles. These low pressure areas strengthen in the winter and weaken in the summer. They span 700-1,500 miles with circulating air moving in a counter clockwise fashion. The reason for the rotation is the Coriolis effect. Some suggest that there was a build up of cold air that was suddenly released from the Arctic.

Are cyclones and typhoons the same as hurricanes?
No. All hurricanes are cyclones, but not all cyclones are hurricanes. A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system with a defined circulation that rotates counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. There are several types of cyclone including polar lows, mid-latitude cyclones, and tropical cyclones. A hurricane is an intense tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h).
Is there freedom of speech in Libya?
Cyclone is the generic term for a low-pressure system with surface winds spinning in a circular motion. The six main types of cyclones are polar cyclones, polar lows, extratropical cyclones, subtropical cyclones, tropical cyclones, and mesocyclones. When the winds reach speeds of 74 miles per hour, a tropical cyclone might be called a hurricane or typhoon, depending on the region where it formed. it affect human,andanything house
Does Antarctica experience typhoons?
No. A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone. Antarctica is a polar region.
Were can a hurricane not happen?
Hurricanes cannot happen in polar regions
Is a hurricane more likely on a tropical coast or in a polar region far from the ocean?
A hurricane is more likely to impact a tropical coastal area. It would be impossible for one to strike in a polar region. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
Do hurricanes and cyclones form in the tropics?
Hurricanes do, but not all cyclones do. Hurricanes fally into a class of weather phenomenon called a tropical cyclone. There are other types of cyclone, however, including mid-latitude or extratropical cyclones, and polar lows.
What is the difference between a tsunami cyclone typhoon tornado hurricane and whirlpool?
A whirlpool is virtually any vortex that forms in water, usually sucking water inward and downward. They usually result either from a draining body of water, usually man made, or from interactions between flowing water and underwater features. A tsunami is a large ocean wave or series of waves typically triggered by an underwater earthquake or landslide. Less frequently they can be caused by a volcanic eruption or meteor impact. They are not like regular waves, which wash in and out in a few seconds, but come as massive surges of water that keep coming in for several minutes. Like whirlpools, tsunamis are not weather related. A cyclone is a large scale, rotating low pressure weather system in the atmosphere. The rotating air is drawn inwards and upwards. A typical cyclone is several hundred miles across. They can bring thunderstorms, rain, and/or snow depending on the type, season, and intensity. Some may also bring strong wind, but not always. There are three main types of cyclone: tropical, mid-latitude (also called extratropical), and polar. Typhoons and hurricanes are essentially the same thing, both falling under the category of tropical cyclones. They are defined as tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h). The only difference is that such a storm in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific is called a hurricane, while one in the western Pacific (west of the International Date Line) is called a typhoon. A tornado is a violently rotating vortex of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes share some characteristics with cyclones, such as cyclonic rotation. However while cyclones are independent weather systems hundreds of miles across tornadoes are dependent on a parent thunderstorm and are rarely over a mile wide. This means that tornadoes are actually quite small in weather terms. Addition, while not all cyclones are violent or severe, a tornado is violent by definition.
What are the two air masses contributing to a tornado Are they Continental Polar and Maritime Tropical?
The typical aanswer to that is indeed continental polar and maritime tropical, but it is not necessarily the case. A continental tropical air mass may take the place of the continental polar air mass. In some cases, no collision of air masses is needed.
