Most of the Tropical cyclones what affect to the Philippines form over the Caroline Islands area located in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean. Some also form in the South China Sea.

What is a large swirling storm that form over tropical water called?
A name that's given to a tropical cyclone is cyclone Tracy
Is a cyclone a small hurricane?
That depends on the definition. By the Australian definition a cyclone is necessarily a tropical cyclone. However, that is not the case by North American and European standards. In higher latitudes extratropical, or mid-latitude cyclones are the norm. In short, though, both tropical and extratropical cyclones can be considered as "normal" cyclones.
How does coriolis effect affect the cyclone?
The Coriolis force is required for a cyclone to form into a tropical cyclone or hurricane. The force causes a greater deflection of the air (right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern) and the correct speeds for the tropical cyclone to form. Hence why tropical cyclones do not form at or within 5 degrees of the equator, and cease to exist at around 35 degrees north, or 15 degrees south.
What country calls a cyclone a tornado?
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.
What two conditions must exist for a tropical cyclone to form?
For a tropical cyclone to form, there must be warm ocean waters with temperatures above 26.5°C (80°F) and sufficient moisture in the atmosphere. Additionally, there must be low wind shear to allow the storm to grow and sustain itself.
Does a cyclone start at the water?
Not necessarily. Although tropical cyclones can only form over warm ocean water, extratropical cyclones can form over land.
What are huge bodies of air that form over water or land in tropical or polar regions?
airmass
What is the difference between tropical cyclone and temperate cyclone?
A tropical cyclone is characterized by organized convection and thunderstorms. This convection, fueled by warm, moist air, is what powers a tropical cyclone. Because of the amount of moisture needed, these systems can only develop over warm ocean water. Because of their tropical origin, tropical cyclones usually form in environments of relatively little temperature contrast. The core of a tropical cyclone is generally warmer than its surroundings. A temperate cyclone, more often called and extratropical or mid-latitude cyclone usually lacks organized convection. When convection does occur with these systems, it usually does not play a key role in the system's development. They are powered by collisions between warm and cold air masses, and so form in areas of large temperature contrasts. Unlike their tropical counterparts, these systems tend to be strongest in cold environments.
Can a tropical cyclone originate over a hot desert?
Tropical cyclones can only form over water. There is not enough hydrologic energy over a desert to begin the cyclonic action.
What is a large swirling storm that form over tropical water called?
A name that's given to a tropical cyclone is cyclone Tracy
What do you call to the hurricanes that form south of equator and west of international date line?
It's called a Tropical Cyclone, or just a cyclone.
A tropical cyclone converts stored thermal energy located in water molecules into turbulent wind energy by giving up heat through the process called?
A tropical cyclone converts stored thermal energy located in water molecules into turbulent wind energy by giving up heat through the process called condensation. A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a low pressure system over tropical.
What day did hurricane Fiona form?
Fiona is not a hurricane, but a tropical storm. The storm became a tropical cyclone on August 30, 2010.
Which two bodies of water mostly form tropical cyclones that affect the Philippines?
The South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
What is the tropical cyclone that forms in the pacific northwest that travels west?
There are no tropical cyclones that form in the Pacific Northwest and travel west. Tropical cyclones typically form in tropical regions and move towards the west, north, or northwest. The Pacific Northwest, which includes states like Washington and Oregon, is too far north for tropical cyclone formation.
Why do cylones happen in the tropical seas?
Because the energy required to power a cyclone - the heat form the Sun is only strong enough in tropical areas.
Is tropical cyclones another way of saying Tornado?
No. A tropical cyclone is a storm such as a tropical storm, hurricane, or typhoon. In other words, a large-scale storm system the develops over warm ocean water. A tornado is a small-scale but intense vortex that is not necessarily tropical and can easily form over land.
