Answer 2

Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are all the same thing.

The name 'hurricane' is given in the Atlantic Ocean and the northeast Pacific.

The name 'typhoon' is given in the Pacific Ocean, in the southeast Asian seas.

The name 'cyclone' is given in the Australian region, south Pacific Ocean, southwest Indian ocean and the north Indian Ocean.

Fact: Sometimes these storms travel from one basin to the other, such as what cyclone Jasmine did in the 2011-12 Australian region cyclone season.

Answer 3

First, it should be noted that there are similarities between tornadoes and cyclones. A cyclone and a tornado both have low pressure centers and, with the exception of a handful tornadoes, rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. However, tornadoes and cyclones operate on difference levels and are driven by different mechanisms.

In terms of relationships. Tornadoes need thunderstorms to develop. In most cases the thunderstorms needed to produce tornadoes frm long the fronts connected to mid-latitude cyclones. Tornadoes are also not uncommon in the outer bands of tropical cyclones (hurricanes, tropical storms, typhoons etc.)

Answer 4

They are all the same type of storms. IN the Atlantic and the eastern pacific they are called Hurricanes. IN the western Pacific they are called typhoons. IN the indian ocean and the southern hemisphere they are called cyclones.

Answer 5

Typhoons, hurricanes, and severe tropical cyclones are the same thing, only occuring in different parts of the world. They are all large, violent, rotating low pressure systems driven by convection and fueled by moisture from warm ocean water.

Answer 6

Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones are all names for the same type of weather phenomenon: tropical storms with strong winds, heavy rain, and thunderstorms. They form over warm tropical oceans and can cause widespread damage when they make landfall. The term used depends on the region where the storm occurs: hurricanes are in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, typhoons are in the western Pacific, and cyclones are in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific.

Answer 7

Hurricanes often produce weak tornadoes in their outer storm bands when the hit land.

Answer 8

A hurricane is less dangerous than the typhoon
