Tropical cyclones do not always move in a westward direction. For example, cyclones that form off the northwest coast of Australia tend to move eastwards towards the coastline.

Why Tropical revolution storm recurve?

Tropical Cyclone usually moves Westwards, but as they turn with Earth rotation they experiences Precession and this results in Tropical Cyclones to move in Pole Direction ( Nothwards). As Earth rotates from West to East, Tropical Cyclones also experiences acceleration in East direction. Thus Tropical Cyclone (moving towards Pole) re curves to East direction.

Why are tornadoes not named?

They are not named like tropical cyclones because there is very little warning. The reason tropical cyclones are named is so people can follow them as they develop and move along, making each system easy to keep track of. Tornadoes form very quickly and without warning, and it would not make sense to try to apply a name to them. Additionally, while there are usually no more than a dozen named tropical cyclones in a year, Over 1,000 tornadoes hit the U.S. each year, far to many to be named.
