Hurricanes form over warm ocean water. Tornadoes can form just about anywhere.
Hurricanes, as well as all the milder low-pressure systems, rotate clockwise (to the right) in the southern hemisphere.
Meteorologists study hurricanes and tornadoes. They use data from satellites, radars, and weather stations to monitor and track these weather phenomena. Their research helps improve our understanding of these severe storms and how they form.
Hurricanes and cyclones can cause significant damage to the earth's surface through high winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges. These events can lead to erosion of coastlines, flooding, and destruction of infrastructure such as buildings and vegetation. The impact of hurricanes and cyclones can vary depending on the intensity of the storm and the vulnerability of the affected area.
There are clouds in both hurricanes and tornadoes. While a hurricane consists of one enormous cloud mass, a tornado consists of a funnel cloud extending from the base of a thunderstorm.
