A hurricane and typhoon are really the same thing. Only a Hurricane occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or Pacific ocean east of the International Date Line. A typhoon is in the Pacific ocean west of the line.
A cyclone is virtually any cyclonic (counterclockwise rotation in the northern hemisphere, clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere) low -pressure system and is not necessarily severe or violent.
A hurricane (or typhoon) is a specific type of cyclone: a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or more.
Tornadoes and hurricanes are different weather phenomena. Tornadoes are rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground, while hurricanes are large, rotating storms that form over warm ocean waters. They are not the same and have different characteristics and impacts.
Tornadoes are produced by weather patterns. This can include hurricanes. Other catestrophes may have different causes.
Yes, hurricanes and other cyclones in the Northern hemisphere swirl counterclockwise while in the southern hemisphere they swirl clockwise.
Hurricanes can form in June in different regions, depending on the ocean temperatures. In the Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific, hurricanes can form near the Gulf of Mexico and off the west coast of Central America. In the western Pacific, hurricanes can form near the Philippines and in the South China Sea.
Hurricanes and tornadoes are rated on different scales. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale from category 1 to category 5. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (formerly the Fujita scale) from EF0 to EF5.
Water can cause hurricanes, typhones and droughts. Water can provide essential water to land life on it.
Hurricane refers to one Hurricane, While Hurricanes refers to two or more hurricanes.
Not really. Although hurricanes and tornadoes have some notable similarities, they are completely different phenomena. It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not a result of hurricanes.
No. Hurricanes and tornadoes are two different types of storm. Size is not the only difference.

Yes. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are vortices, though they are on entire different scales.
hurricanes and typhoons are two different things.
They are the same, but they have a different name.

No. A twister is a tornado. Hurricanes are a completely different kind of storm. See the related question for more information on the difference.
