RE: Hurricane: The Storm with the Winds of Fury

in #stemng7 years ago

There are similarities between a hurricane, a cyclone or a typhoon. A tropical cyclone has the same property of a hurricane; it comes with a swirling or rotating wind property. The only difference is its speed is less than 74 miles per hour. If a tropical cyclone hits a wind speed of up to 34mph, it is now a tropical storm.

Read about this sometime ago when I was writing an article on how hurricanes get their names. Before then I thought all storms moving with high velocities were hurricanes.

It is always fascinating to see how all these work. Thank you.
