    Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are essentially the same type of tropical storm, but are referred to by different names depending on their location - hurricanes form in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, cyclones form in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, and typhoons form in the Northwest Pacific. An anticyclone is a system of winds that rotates clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere around a center of high atmospheric pressure and usually advances at speeds between 20-30 mph with a diameter between 1500-2500 miles. A monsoon is a seasonal shift in wind patterns that often brings a very rainy or dry season, especially to parts of Asia but also other tropical and subtropical

    HYDROLOGY

    1. Differentiate or distinguish a cyclone from a typhoon or a hurricane.


    These three are all basically the same thing, but are given different names depending on
    where they appear. Hurricanes are tropical storms that form over the North Atlantic
    Ocean and Northeast Pacific. Cyclones are formed over the South Pacific and Indian
    Ocean. Typhoons are formed over the Northwest Pacific Ocean.

    2. What is an anticyclone?
    Anticyclone is a system of winds that rotates about a center of high atmospheric
    pressure clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern,
    that usually advances at 20 to 30 miles (about 30 to 50 kilometers) per hour, and that
    usually has a diameter of 1500 to 2500 miles (2400 to 4000 kilometers).

    3. What is a monsoon?
    A monsoon is a shift in winds that often causes a very rainy season or a very dry season.
    Although monsoons are usually associated with parts of Asia, they can happen in many
    tropical and subtropical regions – including several locations in the United States.
