Our country calls "hurricane" typhoon, right?

In ancient China, typhoons were called hurricanes and later renamed typhoons. Typhoon is the homonym of the English word "typhoon", which originated from the name of Di Feng, a monster giant symbolizing the storm in Greek mythology. In ancient times, people called the strong winds that ravaged the southeast coast every year hurricanes, and it was not until the late Ming and early Qing dynasties that the name "typhoon" began to be used.

"Typhoon" and "hurricane" are both tropical cyclones, but they happen in different places and have different names.

Both hurricanes and typhoons refer to tropical cyclones with wind speeds exceeding 33 m/s, but they have different names because of different regions. Strong tropical cyclones generated in the northwest Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea are called "typhoons"; It is generated in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the eastern part of the North Pacific Ocean and is called a "hurricane"; What is produced in the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal is called a whirlwind. Hurricanes can release amazing energy in one day.

Hurricanes and tornadoes cannot be confused. The latter time is very short, and it is instantaneous, and the longest is no more than a few hours. The former is at sea. In addition, tornadoes are usually accompanied by hurricanes.

The biggest feature of tornado is that when it appears, it often has one or several funnel-shaped cloud columns similar to "trunk", accompanied by storm, lightning or hail.

When a tornado passes through the water, it can absorb water and rise to form a water column, and then connect with clouds, commonly known as "dragon with water" or "dragon with water". When passing through land, houses are often rolled down, and even people are sucked into the air.
