Answer:
Explanation:
Tornado. Cyclones and tornadoes are two types of strong, spiraling storms that can be very destructive. A cyclone is a large, destructive storm that is comprised of strong winds rotating around a center of low pressure. ... Tornadoes move at 30-40 miles per hour with winds reaching over 300 miles per hour near the center.Tornadoes have diameters on the scale of 100s of meters and are produced from a single convective storm (i.e. a thunderstorm or cumulonimbus). A tropical cyclone, however, has a diameter on the scale of 100s of *kilometers* and is comprised of several to dozens of convective storms.Comparison chart

Cyclone Tornado
About A cyclone is an atmospheric system of rapidly circulating air massed about a low-pressure center, usually accompanied by stormy often destructive weather. Storms that begin in the Southern Pacific are called cyclones. A tornado is a rotating column of air ranging in width from a few yards to more than a mile and whirling at destructively high speeds, usually accompanied by a funnel-shaped downward extension of a cumulonimbus cloud. Winds 40-300+ mph.
Rotation Clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. Clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere
Intensity Commonly quite strong. The scale for measuring cyclones is called the Beaufort Scale and Saffir-Simpson scale and may vary in different countries.Winds may approach 300kph and cause widespead damage. The scale used for rating the strength of tornadoes is called the Fujita (F), Enhanced Fujita (EF), and TORRO (T) Scale.
Location Southern Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean. Cyclones in the northwest Pacific that reach (exceed) 74 mph are "typhoons". Tornados have been spotted in all continents except Antarctica.
Most affected areas Pacific Ocean In areas where a convergence of cold and warm fronts is common. i.e. US Midwest.
Frequency 10-14 per year The United States records about 1200 tornadoes per year, whereas the Netherlands records the highest number of tornadoes per area compared to other countries. Tornadoes occur commonly in spring and the fall season and are less common in winters
Occurrence warm areas Places where cold and warm fronts converge. Can be just almost anywhere.
Forms of precipitation rain Rain, sleet, and hail
