  1. Not temperature core, temperature source. Yes results are same.

    Hurricanes: Atlantic Ocean

    Typhoons: Pacific Ocean

    Cyclones: Indian Ocean

    The water temperatures differ in each ocean, so that is what causes slight differences in weather systems. Results are the same, when the windspeeds and widths of the storms are about the same, regardless of whether twisting clockwise or counter clockwise. Buildings are stationary, doesn't matter which side they get whacked from, they still get whacked!!


  2. Hurricane = Atlantic Ocean - Cyclone = Pacific Ocean/Bad rap song.

    Or  - A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and flooding rain. A tropical cyclone feeds on heat released when moist air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapour contained in the moist air. They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows, leading to their classification as "warm core" storm systems.

    The term "tropical" refers to both the geographic origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively in tropical regions of the globe, and their formation in Maritime Tropical air masses. The term "cyclone" refers to such storms' cyclonic nature, with counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere. Depending on their location and strength, tropical cyclones are referred to by other names, such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression and simply cyclone.
