The difference between a Cyclone and a Hurricane

• Well first off a cyclone is a system of winds rotating inward to an area of low atmospheric pressure, clockwise or counter clockwise depending on the Northern or Southern Hemisphere

• Secondly, a Hurricane is a huge storm, they can be up to 600 miles across and have strong winds inward and upward at speeds of 75 to 200 mph.  Hurricanes can get heat and energy from warm ocean waters.

•   The difference between a cyclone and a hurricane is that cyclones have winds that rotate inward to an area of low atmospheric pressure, and a hurricane has strong winds that move inward and upward at speeds of 75 to 200 miles. Also Hurricanes are bigger than cyclones.
