What is the difference between Typhoon, Hurricane and Tornado? Storm is a kind of disturbance in the atmosphere, which comes through strong winds and is accompanied by rain, snow or hail. When they occur on land, they are called normal storms, but storms that arise from the sea are called hurricanes. Hurricanes are more dangerous than ordinary storms.
Hurricane, cyclone and typhoon are the same thing. Cyclones are called by different names all over the world. For example, cyclones formed in North America and Caribbean Islands are called hurricanes, cyclones occurring in Philippines, Japan and China are called typhoons and storms occurring around Australia and the Indian Ocean i.e. India are called cyclones.
From the point of view of the oceans, cyclones formed in the Atlantic and North-West Oceans are called hurricanes. Storms that form in the northwest Pacific Ocean are called typhoons. Whereas the storms that arise in the South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean are called cyclones.
For this reason, the sea storms that come in the areas around India are called cyclones. Tornadoes are also strong storms, but they are not cyclones, because they mostly form on land rather than in the ocean. Most of the tornadoes occur in America.
