which is stronger? A typhoon, a Hurricane, or a Cyclone?

Answer 1

There is no difference in ths strength of these storm, it just the location in which they occur, Hurricane in the Eastern Pacific and Atlantic, Typhoon in the Western Pacific, and Cyclone in the Indian Ocean area. Although Typhoons near Japan have been a bit stronger than normal lately.

Answer 2

Well, it all depends on what you mean by a cyclone. A cyclone in the U.S. is another name for a tornado. A tornado can have recorded winds approaching 300 M.P.H. An extremely powerful storm.
A Typhoon and a Hurricane are large storms over water. Typhoons in the Pacific and Hurricanes in the Atlantic. These are bigger storms but not as windy. Cyclones is another name for a Typhoon in the Indian ocean.

Answer 3

The term used by meteorologists is 'tropical cyclone'. A cyclone is a generic term meaning 'an area of low atmospheric pressure characterized by inward spiraling winds'. A tropical cyclone is a category of cyclones.

And as pointed out, typhoon and hurricane are local names for a tropical cyclone. In many places, the press and the people will use 'cyclone' to mean 'tropical cyclone' but a meteorologist would ask 'what sort of cyclone'.

The most intense storm on record was Typhoon Tip in the northwestern Pacific Ocean in 1979, which reached a minimum pressure of 870 mbar (25.69 inHg) and maximum sustained wind speeds of 165 knots (190 mph, 305 km/h). So if you wanted to distinguish by name, a typhoon has the record.

Answer 4

They are essentially the same thing. The name depends on whether you're over land or water, and whether you're in the Northern or Southern hemisphere. You can have several cyclones, typhoons, and hurricanes a year, some weaker and some stronger. None are inherently stronger.

Answer 5

They are all strong.
But depends what continent and or sea you refer to.
We get hurricanes.
Japan gets Typhoons.

Answer 6

they are all the same thing....
