Tornadoes form when thunderstorms take on rotation as a result of interactions with wind shear. This rotation can tighten and intensify to produce a tornado.
Hurricanes develop when storm systems move out over warm ocean water, organize, and intensify.
Cyclones are simply low pressure systems, they are generally simply areas of rising air that is warmer than its surroundings. Air spirals inward cyclonically, that is clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. This is due to the Coriolis effect.
No. All hurricanes and other tropical cyclones above tropical depression strength get named, however extratropical cyclones are not named. Tornadoes never get names.
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.
tropical cyclones are called "hurricanes" in the North Atlantic Ocean and Eastern and Central Pacific Ocean east of the international dateline. They are called "typhoons" or sometimes "super typhoons" if they are really strong in the Pacific Ocean west of the dateline. They are known as "cyclones" in the North Indian Ocean and in the Southern hemisphere
The statements "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" and "Hurricanes have strong winds" are both true. Tornadoes most certainly can kill people.
No. Tornadoes are too numerous and happen too quickly to be named. Instead tornadoes are usually referred to by the places they hit, such as the Oklahoma City tornado or the Tuscaloosa, Alabama tornado. The only types of storms named are tropical cyclones (e.g. hurricanes).
No. All hurricanes and other tropical cyclones above tropical depression strength get named, however extratropical cyclones are not named. Tornadoes never get names.
Tornadoes, by a considerable amount.
cyclones are formed over the pacific ocean
They do, but most tornadoes don't make international news and generally, the strongest tornadoes that do most of the serious damage occur in the U.S. Hurricanes occur in the southern hemisphere, but are called cyclones or tropical cyclones rather than hurricanes.
Tornadoes can be called twisters, but tornado is the preferred term. Hurricanes are also called tropical cyclones, though that is a somewhat broader term.
All are forms of potentially dangerous weather.
Many tornadoes have a structure similar to the eye of a hurricane, but the only true eyes are in tropical cyclones. In Tornadoes and other storms it is called a weak echo region.
Tornadoes are called "twisters." Hurricanes are sometimes called "tropical storms" before they reach violent wind speeds, and are referred to as "typhoons" in the Pacific. Both tornadoes and hurricanes can be called "cyclones" because they both have violently rotating wind.
The term cyclone refers to a wide variety of weather phenomena. Many cyclones are not particularly violent, though tropical cyclones (hurricanes and typhoons) generally are. Generally speaking tornadoes are more violent than cyclones but cyclones cover a much larger area and so release much more energy.
Some do. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons etc.), extratropical cyclones/lows, Some thunderstorms (mostly supercells), and tornadoes are all storms that rotate.
Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, mudslides and wildfires are different types of natural disasters.
Some cyclones produce tornadoes, but most do not.
