Typhoon: Strong tropical cyclones appearing in the Pacific Northwest and the South China Sea are called "typhoons".
Hurricanes: Hurricanes that occur in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the eastern North Pacific Ocean are called hurricanes.
The biggest feature of a tornado is its shape. It's a short moment, no more than a few hours at the longest. In addition, tornadoes are usually accompanied by hurricanes. When a tornado passes through the water, it can absorb water and rise to form a water column, which is then connected with clouds, commonly known as "dragon with water". When crossing land, houses often collapse and even people are sucked into the air.
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. In addition, tornadoes are usually accompanied by hurricanes. The biggest feature of tornadoes is that they often have one or several funnel-shaped cloud columns similar to "tree trunks", accompanied by violent storms, lightning or hail. When a tornado passes through the water, it can absorb water and rise to form a water column, which is then connected with clouds, commonly known as "dragon with water". When crossing land, houses are often rolled over and even people are sucked into the air.
Hurricanes are destructive tropical cyclones with winds exceeding 74 miles per hour in the Atlantic Ocean. Hurricanes usually occur in summer and early autumn. When they come, it often thunders and lightning. In just one day, a hurricane can release a lot of energy, enough to meet the electricity demand of the whole United States for about six months.
Generally speaking, tornado is a destructive funnel-shaped rotating wind, which extends from tornado to the ground. Tornadoes can spin at speeds as high as 500 miles per hour and destroy everything they encounter in a few seconds.
In nature, typhoons and hurricanes belong to the same category, both of which are tropical cyclones that occur in tropical oceans, and most of them erupt in summer and autumn, belonging to a wide range of weather. However, due to different regions and different names, the northwest Pacific Ocean is called a typhoon, and the central Pacific Ocean, the northeast Pacific Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean are called hurricanes. In fact, it is essentially the same.
As far as the movement mode is concerned, typhoons and hurricanes last for a long time, mainly rotating counterclockwise after the outbreak of strong convection in the center. Generally speaking, its movement is greatly pulled by the subtropical high, which belongs to a long-term meteorological system. However, tornadoes are mostly vertical systems. Although they are rotating, they last for a short time. Of course, as far as their destructive power is concerned, it also depends on the size of the wind, the area where it occurs and so on. It is impossible to say who is older and who is younger.
