Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a name used for tropical cyclones?

AHurricane

BTsunami

CTyphoon

DTropical storm

Answer:

B. Tsunami

Read Explanation:

A tsunami is a series of powerful ocean waves caused by large-scale disturbances, most commonly underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides.

Tropical cyclones, on the other hand, are rotating storm systems that form over tropical or subtropical waters. They are known by various names depending on their geographic location:

  • Hurricanes ๐ŸŒช๏ธ: These are tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or the northeastern Pacific Ocean.

  • Typhoons ๐ŸŒ€: These are tropical cyclones that form over the northwestern Pacific Ocean.

  • Cyclones ๐ŸŒŠ: This is a general term for tropical cyclones, often used specifically for those that form over the South Pacific or Indian Ocean.

The key difference is their origin and nature: tropical cyclones are atmospheric weather phenomena, while tsunamis are geological oceanographic phenomena.
