Cyclones in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific are called hurricanes, in the Northwest Pacific they are called typhoons, in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean they are called cyclones, and in the South Atlantic and southeastern South Pacific they are called tropical cyclones.
In different parts of the world, tropical cyclones are known as hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, typhoons in the northwestern Pacific, and cyclones in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.
It depends on the kind of cyclone. Tropical cyclones are powered by warm, moist air. Polar lows are systems that occur in cold air. Mid-latitude cyclones occur where air masses of different temperatures meet.
Cyclones in Europe are known as cyclones. They are not called hurricanes - this is a term generally reserved for cyclones in the Americas.
No, not all storms are cyclones. Cyclones are a specific type of storm characterized by circular motion and low-pressure centers. Other types of storms include hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes. Each has its own unique characteristics and formation processes.

No. Tornadoes and cyclones are different things. A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex within a thunderstorm. Most cyclones are mid-latitude cyclones.
Informally some people do call them cyclones, by this is technically incorrect. While they share some traits, tornadoes and cyclones are different types of weather pattern.

Cyclones occur in a variety of areas around the world. "Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes. Cyclones develop in the warm seas near the equator, but do not cross the equator. Those in the southern hemisphere are usually known as cyclones, but cyclones in the China Sea region are often called typhoons, whilst those in the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean are known as hurricanes.
Extratropical cyclones are typically connected to fronts and usually form along boundaries of air masses of different temperature and/or dew point. Tropical cyclones are different in that they have what is called a "warm core" and a fueled by a somewhat different mechanism.

Cyclones in Europe are known as cyclones. They are not called hurricanes - this is a term generally reserved for cyclones in the Americas.
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.
