Why do tropical storms develop in the regions they do?
There are three main factors that affect the formation of tropical storms. First, tropical storms can only form over warm ocean water as it is the moisture from these oceans that fuels them. So they are mainly limited tropical regions. Second, wind shear can essentially tear a storm apart, so tropical storms usually do not form often in places with strong wind shear. As an example, the southern Atlantic ocean experiences a lot of wind shear, making tropical storms there extremely rare. Third, tropical storms need a strong Coriolis Effect to form as this is what drives their rotation. As a result tropical storms cannot form on the equator, and rarely form very close to it.
Are tropical storms over land or over water?
Tropical storms form over warm ocean water. They weaken rapidly if they hit land.
What percentage of tropical storms become hurricanes?

Are there any tropical storms in Minnesota?
No. Tropical storms develop over warm ocean water and don't remain tropical storms more than a couple hundred miles inland. Even then, Minnesota gets its fair share of nasty storms, including tornadoes, even if it does not get tropical storms.
Are all storms hurricanes?
Not at all. A hurricane is only one type of storm out of many. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph. Many storms (such as everyday thunderstorms) are not tropical and do not produce winds nearly that strong. A few storms other than hurricanes are thunderstorms, tropical storms, tornadoes, extratropical lows, derechos, and sandstorms

Is tropical storm the same thing as storm?
Not exactly. A tropical storm is indeed a kind of storm, but not all storms are tropical storms.
What is the defining factor that changes a storms status from tropical storm to hurricane?
The difference between tropical storms and Hurricanes are simply the strength and/or size. Some tropical storms strengthen, and develop into Hurricanes, while some Hurricanes, as they weaken, fall into the area of tropical storms.
How are tropical storms in the northern hemisphere different from tropical storms in the northern hemisphere?
Tropical storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
How are tropical storms in the northern hemisphere different tropical storms in the southern hemisphere?
Tropical storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
Are hurricanes given names while tropical storms are not?
Hurricanes and tropical storms are both named. Hurricanes have more detailed and already thought of names, while tropical storms aren't as important.
How many people have died from severe tropical storms?
No one can answer this question unless you clarify over what time period, inform us as to which countries or continents and explain which types of tropical storms.
What is the relationship between hurricane tropical storms and tropical storms?
Tropical storms and hurricanes are different intensity levels of the same type of storm: a tropical cyclone. The difference is that a tropical storm has winds of 39-73 mph and a hurricane has winds of 74 mph or greater.
What are the seven main storms?
Tornadoes, rainstorms, tropical storms, hurricane, blizzard, tropical storm, snow storm.
