No. A cyclone can produce tornadoes, but it cannot become one. They are two very different types of weather event.
A cyclone is bigger than a tornado by far, but a tornado is usually more violent.
Yes, Cyclone Tracy was a tropical cyclone.
It varies. Technically a cyclone can be almost any large scale low pressure system with a closed circulation, and most such systems are not damaging. However, hurricanes and similar storms, which are a kind of cyclone, can cause far more damage and have much higher death tolls than tornadoes. Both the costliest and deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history were hurricanes (Hurricane Katrina and the 1900 Galveston hurricane respectively). It can be even more complicated however, as cyclones can cause tornadoes.
Oh, what a lovely question! Tornadoes and tropical cyclones are both powerful forces of nature, but they are different in size and characteristics. Tornadoes are usually smaller in size, with a narrow and intense rotating column of air, while tropical cyclones are much larger, spanning hundreds of miles with strong winds and heavy rain. Each one is unique and beautiful in its own way, just like every brushstroke on a canvas.
- Its a feminine cyclone because its name is TRACY. - Tracy was a girl i knew
No. Cyclones and tornadoes are completely different phenomena.
This most closely describes a tornado, though a tornado technically is not a cyclone.
A tornado is also commonly known as a cyclone.
No. While a tornado and a cyclone have a number of things in common, they are two different things. A tornado is a small-scale circulation that is dependent on a parent storm cell. A cyclone is a large-scale circulation that is its own independent weather system.
There is no such thing as a "cyclone 5 tornado." You can have a category 5 hurricane or an EF5 tornado. In either case, the answer would be no; there is too much turbulence.

No. Simply put, a hurricane is a specific type of cyclone (i.e. a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph). Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms which are in turn usually produced by a cyclone or the fronts that may be associated with it. But many cyclones do not produce tornadoes.
No. A hurricane is a type of cyclone, but a tornado is not. A cyclone is a large-scale weather system. A tornado is a small-scale circulation.
There was never a tornado named Tracy as tornadoes are not given names. Cyclone Tracy lasted from December 21-26, 1974, making landfall early on December 25. Cyclone Tracy was a tropical cyclone, which is essentially a hurricane, not a tornado
A Tornado, a cyclone and a hurricane
Tornado Cyclone Hurricane (with water)
No country really calls a cyclone a tornado. Some parts of the U.S. a tornado a cyclone, though a tornado and a cyclone are two different things. In the U.S. however a strong tropical cyclone is called a hurricane.
