There's actually five stages of development. It starts off as a TROPICAL WAVE, which is just a low pressure area with westward blowing winds. Then its a TROPICAL DISTURBANCE, which is an area of thunderstorms that's about 100-300 miles in diameter (basically this is just a really bad storm, with gusty winds, heavy rains, etc). It usually lasts for 24 hours. Then its a TROPICAL DEPRESSION, which is a low pressure area, with 38 mph winds or less. Then its a TROPICAL STORM, which has 39-73 mph winds. Finally, its a HURRICANE, with 74 mph and above winds. (Note that the tropical depression, tropical storm, and hurricane are all considered tropical cyclones).
The three stages in the development of a full tropical cyclone are formative, mature, and dissipation. During the formative stage, a cluster of thunderstorms organizes into a tropical depression. In the mature stage, the system strengthens into a tropical storm or hurricane, with maximum intensity and well-defined circulation. The dissipation stage occurs when the cyclone loses its tropical characteristics and weakens.
In the three-stage cyclone warning system, the blue stage indicates a cyclone formation alert, advising the public to monitor weather updates. The yellow stage signifies a cyclone warning, signaling that a cyclone is expected within 48 hours with possible destructive force. The final stage is red, indicating that a cyclone is imminent, and prompt actions for safety should be taken.
In what direction did the tropical cyclone move?
The generic name for a hurricane is tropical cyclone. This name also applies to tropical storms and tropical depressions.
a very large cyclone hit the tropical lands.

No, a tropical storm and a tropical cyclone are different stages of development in a tropical weather system. A tropical storm can evolve into a tropical cyclone if it intensifies further in terms of wind speeds, typically reaching sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
A tropical cyclone in its early stages is called a tropical low.
A tropical disturbance can become a tropical depression, which can then lead to a tropical storm and on to a tropical cyclone, or hurricane. (The differentiation between a cyclone and hurricane depends on the strength and location -- it becomes a hurricane when it hits land and exceeds wind speeds of over 74 miles per hour)
Yes, Cyclone Tracy was a tropical cyclone.
Yes, you can use tropical cyclone in a sentence. And here's how you can do so: The tropical cyclone was moving south. The tropical cyclone whipped her hair around.
When they are severe!

In what direction did the tropical cyclone move?
A post tropical cyclone is a cyclone that was once tropical (i.e. a hurricane or tropical storm) that has lost tropical characteristics such as a warm core, but stil retains its circulation.
Yes, hurricane is a name for a tropical cyclone.
