North Atlantic = Hurricane South Atlantic = N/A North Pacific = Typhoon South Pacific = Cyclone Basically, the same rules for category 1-5 apply to all of them as well.
Same thing, 'cept one goes clockwise the other goes counter-clockwise. Typhoons are basically the same too.
Yes, and it's one of the major reasons that the tropics produce the majority of activity. The hots pots are near the equator off the west coasts of Africa and Central America. In these locations low pressure systems (turning in opposite directions) can come within close proximity of each other, intensifying one or both systems.
Okay. This is going to be a difficult concept for some of you geniuses who think Queens is the center of the universe, but I have it on fairly strong authority that there are at least a half dozen highways in New Hampshire that have more than one exit.
I was just gonna post that.. cause its the only exit 2 I know that has a park and ride. Nevermind.. 89 has one two, but there isn't a bus terminal there. I guess it is 93.
Great job fen...here is a more detail difference between the 2. Hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones are different names for the same type of storm. A tropical cyclone is called a hurricane in the North Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, or the Northeast Pacific Ocean on the eastern side of the dateline. A typhoon occurs in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline. In other parts of the world, these storms are called severe tropical cyclones. A hurricane, then, is a cyclonic storm with maximum sustained winds over 74 mph (64 knots; 119 kph). Hurricanes are then further classed according to strength by the Saffir-Simpson Scale. There are five strength categories, with a Category 5 storm rating maximum sustained winds over 156 mph (136 knots; 251 kph). http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-a-hurricane-cyclone-and-typhoon.htm
