The most destructive cyclones are tropical cyclones, which in various parts of the world are called hurricanes and typhoons. Extratropical cyclones can also be destructive by producing strong winds and flooding.
Both can produce severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Note that while tornadoes are destructive they technically are not cyclones even though they are often referred to as such.
A storm system called a 'Tropical Cyclone' also known as a 'Hurricane' if it forms over the Atlantic, a 'Cyclone' if it forms over the Indian Ocean and a 'Typhoon' if it forms over the Pacific.
A blue cyclone flag indicates a cyclone has formed and may affect the area within 48 hours. Yellow alert flags indicate that the cyclone is 24 hours out. Red alert indicates that the destructive winds are forecast in the next 6 hours and immediately take shelter.
The whirlwind is a small meteorological phenomenon (i.e., tornado or dust devil)-rapidly developed-compared to that of a cyclone. A cyclone is a meteorological phenomenon, which horizontal length ranges from the dozens to hundred miles. Usually meteorological systems developed in southwestern Pacific Ocean or Indian Ocean are cataloged as cyclones. As for which system is more destructive, it is debatable (e.g., a cyclone's path can be predicted with acceptable accuracy while a whirlwind cannot).
That depends. A cyclone can be almost any large-scale, organized low-pressure system, and so is not necessarily damaging. However, a cyclone has more destructive potential, as it covers a much larger area than even the largest tornadoes. A tornado cannot cause as much damage in terms of quantity, but the damage that does occur is often far more severe.
A typhoon, that is, a tropical cyclone that forms in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, rotates in an anti-clockwise direction.
The eye of a cyclone is calm.

Yes. Destructive is an adjective because it can describe a noun, e.g. a destructive cyclone.
There are no advantages. It is a destructive storm.
It can vary, as neither are necessarily destructive, but overall, cyclones have more destructive potential.
A cyclone .
Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi was a very powerful and destructive tropical cyclone that made landfall in northern Queensland, Australia on 3 February 2011
The most powerful and the most destructive tropical cyclones were actually two different storms. The most powerful tropical cyclone on record is Typhoon Tip of 1979 with winds of 190 mph and a pressure of 870 millibars. It is also the largest tropical cyclone on record with a gale diameter of 1380 miles. The most destructive tropical cyclone on record is Hurricane Katrina of 2005, which cause $105 billion in damage.
It can vary, as many cyclones do not cause damage, whiles some thunderstorms are quite destuctive. Overall, though, cyclones have more destructive potential.
Fronts are not associated with tropical systems.
