Typhoons and hurricanes are essentially the same thing, only a hurricane occurs in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific, while a typhoon is in the western Pacific. Both are classed as tropical cyclones wind winds of at least 74 mph.
A cyclone is virtually any low pressure system, this includes hurricanes and typhoons, as well as other, much less severe weather systems. Cyclones are typically several hundred miles wide. A cyclones is generally an independent system that often produces a variety of weather
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes are tiny compared with cyclones, rarely over a mile wide, though they are typically more violent. Also, unlike a cyclone a tornado is not its own weather system but is dependent on a larger parent storm.

What do people in the US call tornadoes?
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
Do tropical areas get hurricanes cyclones and typhoons?
Hurricanes and typhoons occur in tropical areas, but can move into extratropical areas as well. There are different types of cyclone, however. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms and tropical depressions) form in tropical regions but extratropical and polar lows are cyclones as well.

What do hurricanes typhoons and tropical cyclones have in common answers?
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.
Can typhoons cause cyclones?
A typhoon is a cyclone. A cyclone is simply an area of low pressure. Types of cyclones include, but are not limited to, hurricanes/typhoons, low pressure systems and tornadoes.
When are Cyclones Hurricanes Typhoons and Tornadoes most likely to occur?
Cyclones are a broad category of storm systems that include hurricanes and typhoons and occur at all times of storm. Hurricanes and typhoons are essentially the same kind of storm only caller hurricanes in the north Atlantic and northeast Pacific and are called typhoons in the northwest Pacific Ocean. North Atlantic hurricanes mostly occur in June-November. Northeast Pacific hurricanes mostly occur May-November. Typhoons typically occur April-January. Tornadoes are most common in the months of April-June
Do storms turn?

Are tornadoes or hurricanes call 'twisters'?
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.
Which storms feature strong cyclonic winds spinning counterclockwise?
A number of storms in the northern hemisphere have such characteristics including tropical cyclones (hurricanes an typhoons), some extratropical cyclones, and most tornadoes (on rare occasions they are anticyclonic).
Which is stronger tornadoes or cyclones?
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.
