Answer 1

• A thunderstorm is a storm usually with Rain, Highwinds and Lightening and thunder hence the name Thunderstorm.

• A cyclone is in the Pacific, it is created the same way as hurricanes. Usually cyclones can be more powerful because of the size of the Pacific and the warmer waters.

A cyclone is a counter rotating large storm system that is driven by the heat of the water.

• A Cyclone is a high wind storm that rotates into a vortex that can lift houses cars and people into the air.

• It is similarly called a Whirlwind, Twister, or Tornado in different locations
