Our country calls "hurricane" typhoon, right?

A typhoon was called a hurricane in ancient China, and it was later renamed a typhoon. Typhoon is the homonym of the English word "typhoon", which originally originated from Di Feng, the name of the monster giant symbolizing the storm in Greek mythology. In ancient times, people called the strong wind raging along the southeast coast a hurricane every year, and it was not until the late Ming and early Qing dynasties that the name "typhoon" began to be used.

"Typhoon" and "hurricane" are both tropical cyclones, but they happen in different places and have different names.

Typhoon and hurricane:

Both hurricanes and typhoons refer to tropical cyclones with wind speeds of over 33m/s, but they have different names because of their different regions. Strong tropical cyclones generated in the northwest Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea are called "typhoons"; Generated in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the eastern part of the North Pacific Ocean, it is called "hurricane"; What is generated in the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal is called a "whirlwind". Hurricanes can release amazing energy in one day.

hurricanes and tornadoes cannot be confused. The latter's time is very short, and it is an instantaneous outbreak, and the longest is no more than a few hours. The former is at sea. In addition, tornadoes are usually accompanied by hurricanes.

The biggest feature of a tornado is that when it appears, it often has one or several funnel-shaped cloud columns like an elephant's nose, accompanied by storms, lightning or hail.

When a tornado passes through the water surface, it can absorb water and rise to form a water column, and then connect with the cloud, commonly known as "dragon takes water" or "dragon takes water". When passing through land, houses are often rolled down and even people are sucked into the air.
