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.

Study of hurricanes and tornadoes?
Hurricanes and tornadoes are both weather phenomena and so would be covered by the study of meteorology. There is no term for the study of hurricanes or tornadoes in particular.
Is where a cyclone formed?
cyclones are formed over the pacific ocean
What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?
The statements "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" and "Hurricanes have strong winds" are both true. Tornadoes most certainly can kill people.
