No country really calls a cyclone a tornado. Some parts of the U.S. a tornado a cyclone, though a tornado and a cyclone are two different things.
In the U.S. however a strong tropical cyclone is called a hurricane.
Australia calls a hurricane a cyclone. Cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons are all names for the same weather phenomenon, but the term used depends on the region.
In the "Wizard of Oz," it was a tornado that transports Dorothy to the magical land of Oz. This tornado is a pivotal event that sets the story in motion.
No. A tornado is a small scale but violent vortex that forms as a result of a thunderstorm and are dependent on a parent storm.A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system orders of magnitude larger than a tornado. Cyclones can be violent but do not have to be.Cyclones and tornadoes both have low pressure and cyclonic rotation, but they are classified separately as they operate on different scales and are powered by different mechanisms
The name of the Bangladesh cyclone of 1991 was Cyclone Marian. The category 5 cyclone, among the deadliest cyclones on record, struck southeastern Bangladesh on April 29, 1991.
No, a cyclone is a large-scale weather system that rotates around a low-pressure center, typically bringing strong winds and heavy rain. A tornado, on the other hand, is a small-scale, rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground.
No. Cyclones and tornadoes are completely different phenomena.
This most closely describes a tornado, though a tornado technically is not a cyclone.
Australia calls a hurricane a cyclone. Cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons are all names for the same weather phenomenon, but the term used depends on the region.
A tornado is also commonly known as a cyclone.
No. While a tornado and a cyclone have a number of things in common, they are two different things. A tornado is a small-scale circulation that is dependent on a parent storm cell. A cyclone is a large-scale circulation that is its own independent weather system.
There is no such thing as a "cyclone 5 tornado." You can have a category 5 hurricane or an EF5 tornado. In either case, the answer would be no; there is too much turbulence.

No country does. A suction vortex is not a tornado; it is a feature that can develop in a tornado. A tornado itself is a vortex but can sometimes contain smaller vortices (vortexes) called suction vortices. Such a storm is called a multiple-vortex tornado.
No. A hurricane is a type of cyclone, but a tornado is not. A cyclone is a large-scale weather system. A tornado is a small-scale circulation.
There was never a tornado named Tracy as tornadoes are not given names. Cyclone Tracy lasted from December 21-26, 1974, making landfall early on December 25. Cyclone Tracy was a tropical cyclone, which is essentially a hurricane, not a tornado
