A whirlpool is a vortex that forms in a body of water and is rarely more than a few feet across. Most whirlpools suck water downward.
A cyclone is a large scale rotating mass of air with a low pressure center usually a few hundred miles across. Most cyclones are independent storm systems.
The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.
Cyclones usually bring stormy weather while anticyclones usually bring fair weather.
A cyclone is a large scale low pressure system with a closed circulation, and cyclonic rotation. Most storms are small to middle scale systems and do not rotate.
A middle-latitude cyclone is fueled by the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses along a front. The temperature difference creates a pressure gradient that drives the cyclone's circulation. Additionally, the Earth's rotation and atmospheric instability contribute to its formation and development.
A cyclone is a large-scale weather syetm in which air circulates around a center of low pressure. Cyclones often bring stormy weather. A flood is any event in which significant amounts of water are present on land where it would not normally be.
i wish i knew. that's what i am asking!

Cyclone is simply the term used in other countries for hurricanes.
A maelstrom is a powerful and chaotic whirlpool, typically caused by conflicting currents or winds. A whirlpool is a swirling body of water caused by the meeting of opposing currents. The main difference is that a maelstrom is more intense and destructive than a regular whirlpool.

No, a cyclone is a large, rotating low-pressure system that occurs in the air. A whirlpool is a vortex that happens in water.
From the Whirlpool site it looks like the only difference is that the p suffix refers to a pack of 2. There is a T suffix also which refers to a triple pack.
No, a cyclone and a whirlpool are not the same. A cyclone is a large-scale, atmospheric circulation system characterized by inward spiraling winds around a low-pressure center. On the other hand, a whirlpool is a small-scale, rotating body of water typically formed by opposing currents or turbulence. While both involve swirling motions, they occur in different contexts and scales.
a tornado, typhoon, cyclone, twister, and hurricane are pretty much the same.
The difference is in intensity. A tropical depression is a tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph. A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 39 mph to 73 mph.
