A supercell is a specific type of storm. Supercells are the strongest class of thunderstorm, characterized by a strong, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. Supercells are known for their ability to produce very large hail and violent tornadoes.
No, storms and supercell storms are not the same thing. A supercell storm is a specific type of severe thunderstorm that has a rotating updraft, which can lead to the formation of tornadoes. Not all storms are supercells, but all supercell storms are by definition severe.
A supercell is a kind of thunderstorm cell. A thunderstorm cell consists of a convective unit with its own updraft and downdraft. A supercell is the most powerful type of storm cell with a strong, rotating updraft and distinct updraft and downdraft regions.
Tornadoes are most often spawned by a type of storm called a supercell.
A supercell tornado forms from the larger circulation of the mesocyclone, which is a rotating updraft within a supercell that is a few miles across and has a measurable pressure deficit. Strong tornadoes are almost always supercell tornadoes. Non-supercell tornadoes form in the absence of a preexisting mesocyclone and instead form from the interaction of localized twisting in the air at low levels with the updraft of a thunderstorm. Such tornadoes are typically referred to as landspouts. They are generally weaker than supercell tornadoes, rarely exceeding EF1 intensity.
The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.
tornadoes are part of a giant thunderstorm called a supercell. they form in the mesocyclone which is also part of the supercell.

In most cases the type of storm is a supercell..
Most tornadoes are associated with a type of storm called a supercell.

The difference between skyress and storm skyress is that normal skyress hasn't evolved into storm skyress and storm skyress is when she has evolved Wonder if that helps. :-)

It depends on the storm, but in most cases a tornado will form in the rear portion of a supercell, near the boundary between the updraft and the downdraft.
If the storm has a deep, continuously rotating updraft. You can see the evidence of this rotation as striations in the cloud, wall clouds or funnel clouds, as well as huge hail. None if these actually confirm that it is a supercell completely, but you will know one when you see one. To determine one on radar you will need to see if the storm has formed the classic "Hook Echo", which would confirm it as a supercell

Knowing the difference between storm watches and storm warnings can save you life. A storm watch means that the current conditions are right for dangerous weather and to watch for them. A storm warning means that the dangerous weather is threatening the area at that moment.
no, its all the same
