What are hurricanes called in other parts of the world?
In the Pacific they are called typhoons. Generically, hurricanes and typhoons are both tropical cyclones. A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal, synoptic scale, low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation.
Do tropical areas get hurricanes cyclones and typhoons?
Hurricanes and typhoons occur in tropical areas, but can move into extratropical areas as well. There are different types of cyclone, however. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms and tropical depressions) form in tropical regions but extratropical and polar lows are cyclones as well.
Why do tropical cyclones move in a westward direction?
Tropical cyclones move in a westerly direction due to the trade winds blowing from east to west in the tropics. The Coriolis effect also influences the cyclone's direction, causing it to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. These combined effects result in the overall westward movement of tropical cyclones.
Can two cyclones happen at once?
Yes. Extratropical cyclones happen all the time, and at times the Atlantic Ocean has had as many as 5 tropical cyclones at the same time. Right now (August 18, 2010) there are two tropical cyclones in the Pacific: Tropical Storm Fernanda and Hurricane Greg
Why do tropical cyclones form over water?
