What is the difference between a typhoon, hurricane and tornado?
Storm is a kind of disturbance in the atmosphere, caused by strong winds and accompanied by rain, snow or hail. When they occur on land, they are called normal storms, but storms that originate at sea are called hurricanes. Hurricanes are more dangerous than ordinary storms.
Hurricane, cyclone and typhoon are the same thing. Cyclones have different names all over the world. For example, cyclones forming in North America and the Caribbean islands are called hurricanes, cyclones occurring in the Philippines, Japan and China are called typhoons, and storms occurring around Australia and the ocean Indian, that is, in India, are called cyclones.
From an ocean perspective, cyclones formed in the Atlantic and Northwest Oceans are called hurricanes. Storms that form in the northwest Pacific Ocean are called typhoons.
While storms that occur in the South Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean are called cyclones. For this reason, maritime storms that occur in areas around India are called cyclones.
At the same time, tornadoes are also strong storms, but they are not cyclones, because they mainly form on land rather than in the sea. Most tornadoes occur in America.
