Best Answer

Tropical cyclone is a generic term that includes both hurricanes and typhoons. Both hurricanes and typhoons are classified as tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. The only difference is that a hurricane is in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific while a typhoon is in the western Pacific.

Why is it called a typhoon?

Tornadoes are sometimes given unofficial names for the places they hit. For example one particularly destructive tornado from 2011 is know as the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado as it hit the cities of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama. Many tornadoes, though, especially minor ones, are not given such recognition. Though for purposes of record keeping they are often simply tagged with the date and time they occurred and the county or counties affected.


What is a flood and what causes floods?

A flood is an overflow of water in an area. Floods can be caused by hurricanes (obviously), and heavy precipitation. When there is too much precipitation, it can cause lakes, rivers, and dams to overflow and flood the surrounding area. I hope that answers your question:)

Well, tropical definitely has something with the tropics; mainly, the rain-forest. and dependencies are needing help. to tropical dependencies is the rain-forest in dire need of assistance!

I hope this answers your question. IMPROVEMENT: I see. However, in all respect to penguins and monkeys, in 2012, the Earth will experience a giant gorilla dominating the globe. you see, in the near future, my telekinesis assures me that a mutant lone strand of a virus will infect the nearest gorilla. the tropical climate has a major effect in the development in the brain of the dependencies in the neurons in the gorillas pea sized brain.

Due to this, as a result, we have filed a prosecution of gorilla related topics. Any violators will be severely prosecuted, most likely shot. Gorillas smell and hoot like fat chunky ******** and will not be tolerated. Regards, Answers.com Staff
