Does every severe storm in the Atlantic becomes a hurricane?
No. There are two criteria for a storm to be considered a hurricane. It must by a tropical and the maximum sustained winds must be at least 74 mph. Many storms in the Atlantic are either extratropical or subtropical and may that are tropical never attain winds of 74 mph.
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 kind of tropical storm does Vietnam often encounter?

Are all storms hurricanes?
Not at all. A hurricane is only one type of storm out of many. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph. Many storms (such as everyday thunderstorms) are not tropical and do not produce winds nearly that strong. A few storms other than hurricanes are thunderstorms, tropical storms, tornadoes, extratropical lows, derechos, and sandstorms
Are there any tropical storms in Minnesota?
No. Tropical storms develop over warm ocean water and don't remain tropical storms more than a couple hundred miles inland. Even then, Minnesota gets its fair share of nasty storms, including tornadoes, even if it does not get tropical storms.
Is tropical storm the same thing as storm?
Not exactly. A tropical storm is indeed a kind of storm, but not all storms are tropical storms.
How are tropical storms in the northern hemisphere different tropical storms in the southern hemisphere?
Tropical storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
How are tropical storms in the northern hemisphere different from tropical storms in the northern hemisphere?
Tropical storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
How many people have died from severe tropical storms?

Are hurricanes given names while tropical storms are not?
Hurricanes and tropical storms are both named. Hurricanes have more detailed and already thought of names, while tropical storms aren't as important.
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.
What are the names of the tropical storms that did not form into hurricanes?
There have been too many tropical storm in history to list them all here. So here are the Atlantic storms of 2012 that did not become hurricanes: Alberto Beryl Debby Florence Helene Joyce Oscar And in the eastern Pacific in 2012: Aletta Hector John Kristy Norman
