Is a cyclone a tornado a storm in the Pacific ocean a hurricane that forms over the Indian ocean or the second most powerful storm on earth?

All of the above except tornadoes can be considered cyclones. A cyclone is a large scale low pressure system with a defined rotation. Tropical cyclones, which care called hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the western Pacific also occur in the Indian Ocean. In the most extreme cases winds in tropical cyclones can approach 200 mph, making them second only to tornadoes in terms of wind speed.


Where in Australia do cyclones hit most?

Cyclones in Australia most commonly impact the northern regions of the country, particularly the northern coast of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland. These areas are more prone to cyclones due to their proximity to warm ocean waters that provide the energy needed for cyclone formation.


What cities do cyclones hit?

Cyclones can hit coastal cities and regions around the world, with some of the most prone areas being in the Western Pacific (such as the Philippines and Japan), the Indian Ocean (including India and Bangladesh), and the Atlantic Ocean (impacting regions like the Caribbean and the southeastern United States).


Which part of the world do tropical cyclones usually take place?

Tropical cyclones typically occur over tropical waters between 5 degrees and 22 degrees latitude, except for in the southeast Pacific and south Atlantic. They commonly occur off the northwest coast of Western Australia, in the Gulf of Carpentaria and in the Coral Sea.

Are cyclones most common in certain parts of the world?

Yes, cyclones are most common in certain regions such as the North Atlantic, the Northwest Pacific, and the North Indian Ocean. These regions experience a high frequency of cyclones due to warm ocean waters and favorable atmospheric conditions for their formation.


Where do cyclones occur the most?

Tropical cyclones are most likely to occur over warm and moist, (tropical) seas and oceans. they do move across seas and builds up, but when the cyclones hits the land it will slow down and will loose energy :) hope this helped :)


Name some places where cyclone occurs most often?

Cyclones occur most often in regions such as the North Atlantic (Hurricanes), South Pacific and Indian Ocean (Cyclones), and South Pacific (Typhoons). These regions are known for their warm ocean waters and favorable atmospheric conditions that contribute to the formation and intensification of cyclones.

What are the most common origins of such tropical cyclones as hurricanes?

Tropical cyclones, including hurricanes, typically form over warm ocean waters near the equator. They require warm sea surface temperatures, moisture, convergence of winds, and a low vertical wind shear to develop and strengthen. These conditions are commonly found in regions like the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean.
