wat is the difference between a typhoon and moonson.?

Answer 1

"Typhoon" is the word given to hurricanes in the Pacific Ocean region. They are one-shot storms. They blow in and then they're over.

The "Monsoon" is a seasonal rainy period that occurs every year in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It rains for wekks and weeks because of a seasonal low-pressure system that sits over the souther Asian continent. The people of this region depend on it for their crops; and when the monsoons fail, famine always happens.

So, a typhoon is a single blustering storm; and a monsoon is a rainy season. Hope this helps. Cheers, mate.

Answer 2

A typhoon is a dangerous windstorm; a monsoon is an annual rainy season. Typhoons have a season just as hurricanes do, and can be equally damaging, but a typhoon's arrival is upredictable. Monsoons are the tropical counterpart of winter in parts of the world where it snows. The monsoon goes on for weeks, with daily rain, and may signal the time for planting. In dry climates, the desert blooms after monsoon.

Typhoon
A tropical cyclone is a storm system fueled by the heat released when moist air rises and the water vapor in it condenses. The term describes the storm's origin in the tropics and its cyclonic nature, which means that its circulation is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Tropical cyclones are distinguished from other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows by the heat mechanism that fuels them, which makes them "warm core" storm systems. Depending on their location and strength, there are various terms by which tropical cyclones are known, such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, and tropical depression.

Tropical cyclones can produce extremely strong winds, tornadoes, torrential rain, high waves, and storm surges. They are born and sustained over large bodies of warm water and lose their strength over land, which is why coastal regions can receive much damage while inland regions are relatively safe from receiving strong winds. Heavy rains, however, can produce significant flooding inland, and storm surges can produce extensive coastal flooding up to 25 miles/40 km inland. Although their effects on human populations can be devastating, tropical cyclones also can have the beneficial effect of relieving drought conditions. They carry heat away from the tropics, an important mechanism of the global atmospheric circulation that maintains equilibrium in the Earth's troposphere.

A monsoon is a wind pattern that reverses direction with the seasons. The term was originally applied to seasonal winds in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. The word is also used more specifically for the season in which this wind blows from the southwest in India and adjacent areas that is characterized by very heavy rainfall, and especially, for the rainfall associated with this wind.

In terms of total precipitation, total area covered and the total number of people affected, the monsoon affecting the Indian Subcontinent dwarfs the North American monsoon (also called the "Mexican", "southwest", "desert", or "Arizona" monsoon).

Answer 4

Typhoon is just a hurricane on the other side of the date line (it changes near Midway Island - I believe). A monsoon is just constant rain usually in tropical regions.

I have been in a hurricane and typhoon (they are the same kind of storms) I know one answer said they are one shot - that is not true - in Guam we had one come over us then swerve around to come back.

Also, monsoons - just lots of rain - not necessarily stormy just rainy.

Answer 5

The difference between typhoon and moonson is, typhoon mean a big wave in the ocean! Then mooson mean a storm on land with rain and wind, like what Florida gets in the summer!

Answer 6

Monsoon: A wind from the southwest or south that brings heavy rainfall to southern Asia in the summer
Typhoon: A tropical cyclone occurring in the western Pacific or Indian oceans.

Answer 7

Without looking it up, I think a typhoon is a hurricane in the Orient. A monsoon is rainy season.

Answer 8

I believe that typhoon is damaging winds, heavy rain. Monsoon is heavy rain without the damaging winds.

Answer 9

The location, of where they hit. Like:(tsunami, and hurricane)
