We've learned a lot about tornadoes, like what an F5 Tornado is!
Now let's learn a little about tropical cyclones.
There are a few types of things known as tropical cyclones, like hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms, cyclonic storms, tropical depressions.
They are called tropical because they are usually over the area around the equator, known as the tropics.
They are called cyclones because they spin around just like a tornado does.
