Nobody in particular discovered them. Cyclones have been affecting humans through their entire existence. Gradually, through scientific discovery we have come to understand them.

Do cyclones occur on the moon?

No, cyclones do not occur on the moon. Cyclones are large-scale rotating storms that are driven by temperature differences in the Earth's atmosphere, which the moon lacks due to its lack of atmosphere.


Can two cyclones happen at once?

Yes. Extratropical cyclones happen all the time, and at times the Atlantic Ocean has had as many as 5 tropical cyclones at the same time. Right now (August 18, 2010) there are two tropical cyclones in the Pacific: Tropical Storm Fernanda and Hurricane Greg


What country do you get cyclones?

Cyclones occur in various countries around the world, predominantly in regions with warm ocean waters like the Pacific Ocean (e.g., Philippines, Japan) and Indian Ocean (e.g., India, Australia). Cyclones are also known as hurricanes or typhoons in different regions, depending on where they form.


Are cyclones geological?

No, cyclones are not geological phenomena. Cyclones are atmospheric phenomena characterized by low pressure systems with rotating winds, often resulting in strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge. Geology, on the other hand, is the study of Earth's physical structure, history, and the processes that shape it.


What are hurricanes called in other parts of the world?

In the Pacific they are called typhoons. Generically, hurricanes and typhoons are both tropical cyclones. A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal, synoptic scale, low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation.
