Question

What is the difference between Tornado and Cyclone?

Answer 1

Hint:
- Both cyclones and tornadoes are stormy weather systems with the ability to cause damage.
- Tornadoes are formed when hurricanes and tropical storms, collectively known as tropical cyclones, have all of the requisite ingredients.

Complete answer:
Both cyclones and tornadoes are stormy weather systems with the ability to cause havoc. They occur as a result of atmospheric instabilities. Typhoons, hurricanes, tropical cyclones, and other names for these systems vary depending on their location and intensity of stormy weather.

Cyclone	Tornado
A cyclone is an atmospheric system characterized by rapidly swirling air masses around a low-pressure core, which is typically accompanied by stormy and often destructive weather. Cyclones are storms that originate in the Southern Pacific.	A tornado is a spinning column of air with a diameter varying from a few yards to over a mile that is whirling at high speeds and is normally followed by a funnel-shaped downward extension of a cumulonimbus cloud. Winds ranging from 40 to 300 miles per hour.
A cyclone is a massive and destructive storm.	A tornado is a twisted vortex of high-speed wind that is violent and twisted.
A cyclone is defined by a low-pressure zone surrounded by high pressure.	When a funnel-like column of cold air descends from a story cloud, it forms.
High-speed winds whip through the middle, followed by heavy rain.	Warm air rises, allowing high-speed circulating winds to form.
They have a wide circumference.	They have a smaller diameter than most.

Note:
- Except for Antarctica, tornadoes have been spotted on every continent.
- The Indian Ocean and the Southern Pacific Ocean are two of the world's largest oceans. Typhoons are cyclones in the northwest Pacific that cross (or exceed) 74 mph.
