    1. A tropical cyclone is a large storm system characterized by counterclockwise rotating winds around a low-pressure center, called the eye. 2. Typhoons and hurricanes are the same weather phenomenon, but they are called typhoons if they occur in the northwest Pacific ocean and hurricanes if they occur elsewhere. 3. Typhoons form over warm ocean waters near the equator, where the convergence of trade winds provides the necessary warm, moist air to fuel the storm system. Rapid updrafts of water vapor and subsequent condensation release heat to power the swirling winds.

    What comes into your
    mind when you hear
    the word typhoon?
    Maybe….

    Layers of the Atmosphere
    This is the layer where
    artificial satellites can
    orbit.

    Within this layer,


    ultraviolet radiation
    causes ionization which
    manifests visually aurora
    borealis (northern lights)
    or aurora australis
    (southern lights).
    This layer protects the earth
    from meteoric impact.

    This layer of the


    atmosphere contains the
    ozone layer.

    This is the layer where all the


    weather disturbances can
    happen.
    Tropical Cyclones

    A tropical cyclone is
    a storm system
    characterized by
    counterclockwise
    rotating air mass
    around a central part
    called eye that has a
    low pressure.
    Typhoons and Hurricanes

    A tropical cyclone is called a typhoon or


    hurricane depending on what specific
    region this stormy system occurs.

    Typhoons and Hurricanes are one and the


    same phenomena although they vary in
    intensity according to place of origins and
    conditions.
    Typhoons vs Hurricane

    Typhoons vs Hurricane

    If the tropical
    cyclone occurs in
    the Northwest
    Pacific Ocean, on
    the west of the
    International
    Dateline, it is called
    typhoon.
    Typhoons vs Hurricane
    s
    If the tropical
    cyclone
    occurs in the
    Northeast Pacific
    Ocean, the North
    Atlantic Ocean, and
    east of the
    International
    Dateline
    or in the South
    Pacific
    Ocean, east of 160
    degrees latitude, it is
    called a hurricane.
    Where do Tropical Cyclones originate?
    Tropical cyclones form in
    the Intertropical
    Convergence Zone
    located around the
    Equator. It is in this area
    that trade winds from the
    Northern and Southern
    Hemispheres converge.
    How do Typhoons form?
    You need two components
    to have a typhoon to
    form, the ocean and the heat
    of warm air. Since
    heat rises, the warm air is
    pushed up into the sky
    and can cause a large
    swirling action which
    creates a typhoon. The
    moisture of the ocean
    coupled with the heat of the
    air can keep the
    typhoon going and growing.
    Typhoon
    An extremely large powerful and
    destructive storm that occurs especially
    in the region of the Philippines or the
    China Sea

    -It is an area of low atmospheric


    pressure surrounded by a wind system
    blowing in the northern hemisphere in
    counterclockwise direction
    A typhoon is also called a “hurricane” in
    western countries, “tai fung” in China, and
    “taifu” in Japan. The term “typhoon” is used
    in the Philippines and other countries in Asia
    Heavy rainfall is often caused by
    weather disturbance. The major
    weather disturbance that the
    Philippines encounter is the tropical
    cyclone (known as Bagyo). Every
    year, around 20 tropical cyclones are
    experienced in the Philippines with
    varying intensities.
    Classification of Tropical Cyclones

    Maximum Sustained
    Wind
    Tropical Depression 64 kph or less
    Tropical Storm 64-118 kph
    Typhoon 118-200 kph
    Super typhoon 200-above
    In November 2013, super typhoon Yolanda
    (also known as Haiyan) made landfall on the
    eastern part of the Philippines, mainly in Leyte
    and Samar, leaving thousands of Filipino
    families homeless.
    Two factors fuel a tropical cyclone into
    a full blown typhoon

    1.Rapid updrafts or upward


    movement of water vapor from the
    ocean due to the fast rising warm
    air.
    2.Condensation of water vapor
    which releases heat to the swirling
    wind
    According to scientist the
    temperature of ocean water
    must be 26.5 degrees
    Celsius or greater to form
    typhoon
