What is the difference between midlatitude cyclone and hurricane?

A tropical cyclone is a warm-core, low pressure system without any "front" attached, that develops over the tropical or subtropical waters, and has an organized circulation. Depending upon location, tropical cyclones have different names around the world. In the: Atlantic/Eastern Pacific Oceans - hurricanes Western Pacific - typhoons Indian Ocean - cyclones As Defined by the National Weather Service. Cyclone An area of low atmospheric pressure that has a closed circulation. Cyclones (or more commonly called "low pressure areas") rotate counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. They usually bring about clouds and precipitation. Hurricane A warm-core tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind (using the U.S. 1-minute average) is 64 kt (74 mph or 119 kph) or more. The term hurricane is used for Northern Hemisphere cyclones east of the International Dateline to the Greenwich Meridian. It has a diameter of 250 to 500 miles and a cyclonic circulation typically extending to near 50,000 feet. It is called a Typhoon in the western Pacific north of the Equator and west of the International Dateline, a Cyclone in the Indian Ocean, and Baguio in the Philippines area. There is one more type of Cyclone that is not talked about very often but can create just as much damage and that is a Mid Latitude Cyclone. They occure in the Mid-Latitude Areas between 30° and 60° north and south of the Equator. and form differently than a tropical cyclone.


How long does a cyclone or a twister last?

The duration of a cyclone or twister can vary widely depending on its size and intensity. On average, a cyclone or tornado typically lasts for a few minutes to a few hours, with the most powerful tornadoes potentially lasting up to an hour or more. Cyclones can last for several days as they move across a region.


How many people die per average cyclone?

There is no average. Cyclones can cause hundreds of millions of dollars and result in just one death (Cyclone Larry, Queensland, 2006) or result in a loss of life of between 400 and 410 (Cyclone Mahina, Queensland, 1899). Many cyclones have caused 40 deaths, 60 deaths or 140 deaths. There is no average.


What shape is a cyclone?

It depends on whether it is a tropical cyclone or a mid latitude cyclone. A tropical cyclone such as a hurricane is often sawblade shaped while a mid latitude cyclone is often comma shaped, though a mature one may have a well developed spiral. See the satellite picture linked below.


When was the first cyclone?

we do not know the first one because it could be in the dino age but there was a massive one about the size of half of the world in the Dino age

What is the death of midlatitude cyclone?

The death of a midlatitude cyclone typically occurs when it moves into an area of unfavorable atmospheric conditions, such as stable air or a decrease in temperature gradients and moisture availability. This can cause the cyclone to weaken and eventually dissipate, bringing an end to its life cycle. Additionally, interaction with land or encountering upper-level winds can also contribute to the decay of a midlatitude cyclone.

Do thunderstorm often form along the warm front of a midatitude cyclone?

No. Thunderstorms are frequently spawned along the cold front of a midlatitude cyclone (Lutgens & Tarbuck, 2011, p.400).Lutgens, F. K., & Tarbuck, E. J. (2011). Foundations of Earth Science (6th ed.). Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Pearson Prentice Hall.
