Cyclone and Tornado both are the terms used for the uneven weather condition and mostly refer towards the storm causing destruction. Theses both terms are thought to be the same because of the correlation among terminologies, but they are different from each other. The major difference between a cyclone and tornado is by the region and geographical area in which they occur. Tornados are referred as the dense, heavy rotating column of the air ranging from earth surface to the clouds, whereas cyclone is meteorology term that is used specifically for the air mass that rotates clockwise around the center which as low atmospheric pressure.
The cyclone is the meteorology term used for the rotating air mass formed around the center of low atmospheric pressure.
Tornadoes are dense and range from earth surface to the clouds.
Tornado is the rotating air column formed due to the massive wind flow and can cause destruction.
Tornadoes are seen everywhere except
Both can be very much destructive when they are of extreme intensity.
Cyclones are only seen in tropical regions like oceans, near Pacific islands,
The cyclone is the rotating air mass formed in the South Pacific region and the Indian Ocean.
Cyclones usually have more intensity than tornadoes.
Cyclones and tornadoes both rotate clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern hemisphere.
Tornadoes more commonly occur on the average as compare to cyclones.
Tornado
A violently rotating column of air extending from a cumulonimbus cloud to the ground, ranging in width from a few meters to more than a kilometer, with destructive winds up to 510 kilometers (316 miles) per hour or higher. Tornadoes are typically associated with a funnel cloud pendant from a storm's wall cloud, often extending to the bottom of the tornado.
Cyclone
An atmospheric system characterized by the rapid inward circulation of air masses about a low-pressure center, usually accompanied by stormy, often destructive weather. Cyclones circulate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
Tornado
A violent thunderstorm in western Africa or nearby Atlantic waters.
Cyclone
A violent tropical storm, especially one originating in the southwestern Pacific Ocean or Indian Ocean.
Tornado
A whirlwind or hurricane.
Cyclone
A violent rotating windstorm, especially a tornado.
Tornado
(meteorology) A violent windstorm characterized by a mobile, twisting, funnel-shaped cloud.
A tornado is a rotating column of air.
Cyclone
Any of various devices using centrifugal force to separate materials.
Tornado
A violent whirling wind; specifically (Meteorol.), a tempest distinguished by a rapid whirling and slow progressive motion, usually accompaned with severe thunder, lightning, and torrents of rain, and commonly of short duration and small breadth; a small cyclone.
Cyclone
(broad sense) A weather phenomenon consisting of a system of winds rotating around a center of low atmospheric pressure
Tornado
A localized and violently destructive windstorm occurring over land characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground
Cyclone
(narrow sense) Such weather phenomenon occurring in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean
Tornado
A purified and potent form of cocaine that is smoked rather than snorted
Cyclone
A low pressure system.
Cyclone
(informal) The more or less violent, small-scale circulations such as tornadoes, waterspouts, and dust devils.
Cyclone
A cyclone separator; the cylindrical vortex tube within such a separator
Cyclone
To separate using a cyclone separator.
Cyclone
To storm as a cyclone.
Cyclone
To whirl in spirals as a result of a cyclone or whirlwind-like force.
Cyclone
To storm wildly; to be in a frenzy.
Cyclone
A violent storm, often of vast extent, characterized by high winds rotating about a calm center of low atmospheric pressure. This center moves onward, often with a velocity of twenty or thirty miles an hour.
Cyclone
In general, a condition of the atmosphere characterized by a central area of pressure much lower than that of surrounding areas, and a system of winds blowing inward and around (clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the northern); - called also a low-area storm. It is attended by high temperature, moist air, abundant precipitation, and clouded sky. The term includes the hurricane, typhoon, and tropical storms; it should not be applied to the moderate disturbances attending ordinary areas of low pressure nor to tornadoes, waterspouts, or "twisters," in which the vertical motion is more important than the horizontal.
Cyclone
A tornado. See above, and Tornado.
Cyclone
(meteorology) rapid inward circulation of air masses about a low-pressure center; circling counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern
Cyclone
A violent rotating windstorm
Tornado is the term used for the destructive rotating air column that ranges from the surface of the earth and touches the clouds. Tornadoes are quite common in America and its neighboring countries. Tornadoes vary in size and intensity. A lot depends upon the flow of air and atmospheric pressure changing regularly. Tornadoes are not crystal clear but are dense due to the garbage and dust in them and can be easily seen. In other words, we can define tornado as a rotating column of air that touches the clouds from the earth surface. Tornadoes are regarded as uneven weather conditions and often are referred as storm by people. They are commonly seen in the spring and early summer and early autumn season. Tornadoes are not likely to be seen in the winters. According to the latest survey America most probably have more than 1200 tornadoes each year ranging in size and strength. Regarding the rest world, Netherlands is the country with most number of tornadoes every year. Normally average tornadoes have a wind speed of 110 miles per hour and travel 80 meters across in width. The most destructive and high-intensity tornados may have wind speed more than 340 miles per hour and can more 3 km wide in the diameter and can cause massive destruction. Tornadoes are often referred as cyclones, twisters, and whirlwinds by the people suffering and living in that area. Tornadoes are classified into different types by their intensity and destructive. Famous types are fire whirls, dust devil, and gustnado and steam devil.
The cyclone is the meteorology term used by the scientists and weather forecasters for the heavy air mass rotating around the center of low atmospheric pressure. Cyclones are similar to the tornadoes and hurricanes but yet they are different on the basis or the geographical region. The air mass rotating around the center of low atmospheric pressure in the South Pacific region and the Indian Ocean is referred as a cyclone. Whereas similar sort of air mass is rotating in the northern Pacific and Atlantic ocean is termed as a hurricane. Typhoons are the similar kind of huge rotating air mass that are formed in the northwest of Pacific Ocean. One of the major difference between the Cyclones and the tornadoes is that tornadoes are seen in every part of the world except Antarctica, whereas cyclones are only formed near tropical regions and Pacific islands and oceans. Cyclones more clockwise and counter clockwise in the southern and northern hemisphere respectively.
