Why do tropical storms develop in the regions they do?
There are three main factors that affect the formation of tropical storms. First, tropical storms can only form over warm ocean water as it is the moisture from these oceans that fuels them. So they are mainly limited tropical regions. Second, wind shear can essentially tear a storm apart, so tropical storms usually do not form often in places with strong wind shear. As an example, the southern Atlantic ocean experiences a lot of wind shear, making tropical storms there extremely rare. Third, tropical storms need a strong Coriolis Effect to form as this is what drives their rotation. As a result tropical storms cannot form on the equator, and rarely form very close to it.

What is the relationship between hurricane tropical storms and tropical storms?
Tropical storms and hurricanes are different intensity levels of the same type of storm: a tropical cyclone. The difference is that a tropical storm has winds of 39-73 mph and a hurricane has winds of 74 mph or greater.

How long does mercury's storms last?
Mercury's storms can last for several Earth-days to weeks. These storms are driven by the intense heating and cooling cycles on the planet due to its lack of atmosphere.

Can there be tropical tornado storms?
Depends on what you mean. Tornadoes can occur in the tropics, and tropical storms can produce tornadoes, but a tropical storm and a tornado are two very different things.
