Both hurricanes and wave cyclones are low pressure storm systems with cyclonic rotation, that is they rotate counterclockwise if they are in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.
Both hurricanes and wave cyclones are types of tropical cyclones characterized by low pressure centers, strong winds, and heavy rain. They both form over warm ocean waters and can cause significant damage when they make landfall. Additionally, they both have an eye at the center, surrounded by bands of thunderstorms.

No, a cyclone is not a small hurricane. Both cyclones and hurricanes are large, rotating storm systems that form over warm ocean waters. The main difference is in the regions where they occur; hurricanes form in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, while cyclones form in the South Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Is the direction of a hurricane always counterclockwise or clockwise?
Tropical cyclones (the generic term for hurricanes and similar storms) rotate counterclockwise when they occur in the northern hemisphere and clockwise when they occur in the southern hemisphere. Since the term hurricane applies to a tropical cyclone in the northern hemisphere, a hurricane will always rotate counter clockwise. However, aside from the direction of rotation there is no real difference between northern and southern hemisphere tropical cyclones.
In India a hurricane is called a?
