Cyclones are typically called "extratropical cyclones" in Europe. These cyclones form outside of the tropics and are responsible for much of the region's stormy weather.
Hurricanes occur in the tropics, while tornadoes can occur in various regions, including the tropics. In the tropics, tornadoes are less common compared to hurricanes due to the different atmospheric conditions that typically favor the formation of hurricanes over tornadoes.
Cyclones and hurricanes are both types of tropical storms characterized by low pressure systems and strong winds rotating around a center. The main difference is the location where they form: cyclones occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, while hurricanes form in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Ocean.
Cyclones occur more. This is because all hurricanes are cyclones, but not all cyclones are hurricanes.
Hurricanes and mid-latitude cyclones are both large-scale weather systems driven by temperature and pressure differences. However, hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and are powered by latent heat release from condensation, while mid-latitude cyclones form along weather fronts and are fueled by temperature contrasts in the atmosphere. Additionally, hurricanes are more common in tropical regions, while mid-latitude cyclones occur in temperate regions.

Both can occur in the tropics. However it is hurricanes that almost exclusively form in the tropics.
Hurricanes,typhoons, and cyclones
Tropical cyclones (the generic term for hurricanes and similar storms) are most common in the western portions of oceans in the tropics. Such storms are called hurricanes in the Atlantic ocean and the eastern Pacific hurricane.
Hurricanes occur in the tropics, while tornadoes can occur in various regions, including the tropics. In the tropics, tornadoes are less common compared to hurricanes due to the different atmospheric conditions that typically favor the formation of hurricanes over tornadoes.
Yes, tropical cyclones can move out of the tropics and into higher latitudes as they travel across the ocean. When they do, they may transform into extratropical cyclones, losing some of their tropical characteristics but still maintaining their strength and potential to cause significant impacts.
Hurricanes and cyclones are the same type of storm, but they are referred to differently based on their location. Hurricanes form in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, while cyclones form in the northern Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal. The size of a hurricane or cyclone can vary based on the specific storm and its intensity.

No. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water, and usually do not stray far from the tropics.
Cyclones occur more. This is because all hurricanes are cyclones, but not all cyclones are hurricanes.
No. Cyclones are similar to hurricanes.
Yes, tropical areas around the world can experience hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons. These are all names for the same weather phenomenon, known as tropical cyclones, but are referred to differently depending on the region where they occur (e.g., hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, cyclones in the Indian Ocean, and typhoons in the western Pacific).
