Generically if the wind speed reaches at least 64-79 knots the storms are called 'Tropical Cyclones'. However, these storms are also given regional names, if they form over the Atlantic they are also known as a 'Hurricanes' , while if they form over the Indian Ocean they are called a 'Cyclones'. Finally if they form over the Pacific they are called a 'Typhoons'.

Air circulates around the earth in big chunks called?
fronts
What is the system of rapidly circulating winds around center of low pressure that usually brings rain?
The system of rapidly circulating winds around a center of low pressure that usually brings rain is called a low-pressure area. A low-pressure area may cause a cyclone, such as a tropical cyclone or a mid-latitude cyclone.
Why is a hurricane called a tropical depression?
A tropical depression is a tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph. When winds reach or exceed that limit it is called a tropical storm and is given a name. Tropical depression 9 denotes the 9th tropical cyclone of that year in a particular ocean basin.
What are warm moist air masses that form near the equator called?
maritime tropical
What is a cyclone and an anticyclone?
A cyclone is a large tropical storm caused by winds rotating around an 'eye', or central area, of low atmospheric pressure. In a cyclone, rapid inward circulation of air masses about a low pressure centre. 'Cyclone' is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. These tropical storms tend to be called 'cyclones' in the southern hemisphere, and they rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere, where cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean, they are called hurricanes and those in the South China Sea and regions of Asia are called typhoons. Northern hemisphere cyclones rotate anti-clockwise, and are sometimes called anti-cyclones.

What are hurricanes called from around the world?
They are mostly called tropical storms or cyclones.
What carries a negative charge and circulates around the nucleus?
Negatively charged particles in an atom that move around the nucleus are called electrons.
What is an area called where the air pressure is lower that the areas around it?
a hifh pressure system
Is a cyclone called a depression?
There is such thing as a tropical depression, a type of cyclone. The "depression" part is named after the low-pressure system of the cyclone.
What is it called where the air pressure is lower than the areas around it?
a-plus a low pressure system
What is a pressure needle in checking blood pressure?
There is the blood pressure cuff which wraps around the arm and the pressure guage I believe is called a "sphygmomanometer"
What hurricane has an area of low pressure that has no circulation?
If a storm does not have a circulation, then it is not a hurricane. Such a storm system that might become a hurricane is called a tropical disturbance.
What is the substance all around us called?
air pressure
What is the scientific name of any regional low pressure system?
One example of a regional low pressure system is the Icelandic Low, also known as the Aleutian Low. Its scientific name is the Icelandic Low, which is a semi-permanent area of low pressure located near Iceland.
