Hurricane is what they are called if they form in the Atlantic Ocean. They are called typhoons if they form in some areas of the Pacific and cyclones in yet other places. All these storms are the same and the generic name for them is "tropical cyclones."
No. Aftershocks are a phenomenon that occur only with earthquakes.
no they can occur multiple times per year
Cyclones occur more. This is because all hurricanes are cyclones, but not all cyclones are hurricanes.
thunderstorms only occur in warm weather
Hurricanes typically occur in coastal regions or islands near warm ocean waters, such as the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and southeastern United States. When hurricanes make landfall, they can impact areas along the coast before weakening as they move further inland.
Hurricanes occur over warm ocean water in or near the tropics.
Hurricanes most often occur in August.
In the US, an average of seven hurricanes occur every four years, or equivalent to 1.75 a year. Each hurricane can last up to more than a week.
they usually occur in summer
Not really. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water. Once they hit land they weaken rapidly and don't stay as hurricanes for very long.
Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere in the U.S. and have been documented in all 50 states. They are most common in the Midwest and the South. Hurricanes on the other hand can only directly strike the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Most of the eastern two thirds of the country can feel the effects of the remnants of hurricanes.
Hurricanes commonly occur in the Southeastern US due to warm ocean waters providing the necessary energy for their formation and intensification. The region's geography and prevailing winds also create favorable conditions for hurricanes to develop and move into the area.
