How does a thunderstorm differ from a typhoon?

Answer 1

A cyclone is a large-scale rotating low pressure system with a defined center of circulation. They can bring strong winds, thunderstorms, and various precipitation depending on the kind of cyclone.

A thunderstorm is any rainstorm that produces thunder and lighting. Thunderstorms are a smaller scale phenomenon than cyclones and generally do not rotate. When a thunderstorm does rotate, it is still a smaller-scale pattern than a cyclones, and is instead called a supercell. A rotating complex of thunderstorms may be considered a cyclone, however.

Answer 2

A cyclone is virtually any large scale low pressure system with a definite circulation. A typhoon is a type of cyclone, specifically a tropical cyclone that occurs in the Pacific Ocean north of the equator and west of the International Date Line, and possessing sustained winds of at least 74 mph.

"Storm" is a vague term that can refer to virtually any weather event that produces strong winds, thunder and lightning, significant precipitation, or some combination of those. In this sense typhoons and, in fact most cyclones can be regarded as storms.

Answer 3

A thunderstorm is a localized weather phenomenon characterized by lightning, thunder, and rain, while a typhoon is a large tropical cyclone with strong winds that typically forms over warm ocean waters in the Pacific Ocean. Typhoons have the potential to cause widespread destruction and flooding, whereas thunderstorms are generally shorter in duration and less powerful.

Answer 4

A cyclone is a circular storm, a thunder storm is vertical.

Answer 5

No. A cyclone is a large-scale low pressure system with a defined center of circulation. Thunderstorms operate on a smaller scale and usually do not rotated.

Answer 6

a thunderstorm is just short a typhoon rains and it becames flood
