physical geography of hurricanes
Définition(s)
- Labeled a typhoon in the Pacific Ocean west of the International Dateline and a cyclone over the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea, a hurricane is powered by the heat and moisture of the tropics rather than temperature differences across latitudes, as is the case for the more common extratropical cyclone. This entry describes the characteristics and classification of hurricanes, the types of damage they can cause, and current research on hurricane activity.
