The storms over the Indian Ocean are generally referred to as tropical cyclones. These storms can also be known as typhoons or hurricanes, depending on where they occur in the world.
Tropical storms typically form over warm ocean waters where they can gain strength from the heat and moisture. Once formed, they can move over both land and water, but they usually weaken rapidly over land due to the lack of a warm water source to fuel them.

Tropical storms can occur in various locations around the world, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions near the equator. These storms typically develop over warm ocean waters, with some common areas being the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean.
A hurricane is a big storm over the ocean, it is one of the most powerful storms all over the world.
No. Tropical storms develop over warm ocean water and don't remain tropical storms more than a couple hundred miles inland. Even then, Minnesota gets its fair share of nasty storms, including tornadoes, even if it does not get tropical storms.
When there are warm currents over large surfaces of water, low presuure conditions are created that attract cyclones. This influences the route of the cyclonic storms.
Snow storms in the Appalachian Mountains and the Rocky Mountains form when moist air is forced to rise over the mountains, leading to cooling and condensation of water vapor into snow. The moisture for these storms can come from nearby bodies of water, such as the Atlantic Ocean for the Appalachian Mountains and the Pacific Ocean for the Rocky Mountains.
The two main types of storms are tropical storms and extratropical storms. Tropical storms form over warm ocean waters near the equator, while extratropical storms develop outside the tropics. Tropical storms have more organized circulation and primarily rely on warm, moist air for fuel, while extratropical storms are influenced by temperature and pressure gradients.
Hurricanes get the energy they need from the moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. Without this energy source a hurricane weakens and dissipates.
