Are cyclones and hurricanes both wind storms?
Description:
Yes.
Both cyclones and hurricanes are types of wind storms. They are powerful systems characterized by strong winds, heavy rain, and low-pressure centers, though they are named differently depending on their location.
Cyclones generally refer to such storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific.
Hurricanes refer to them in the Atlantic Ocean and the northeastern Pacific.
Both are tropical cyclones, just under different regional terminology.
