Cyclones form and occur in a variety of areas around the world. "Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes. Cyclones develop in the warm seas near the equator, but do not cross the equator. Those in the Southern Hemisphere are usually known as cyclones, but cyclones in the China Sea region are often called typhoons, whilst those in the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean are known as hurricanes.
Cyclones are prevalent in humid, tropical, warm to hot regions. They require a minimum sea temperature of 26.5 degrees Celsius in order to form. They do not usually occur north of the Tropic of Cancer or south of the Tropic of Capricorn as the sea temperature is not generally high enough to support the development of a cyclone. There are always exceptions, however, and in Australia they have been known to move south of the Tropic of Capricorn after forming further north. This is because they follow the warm water currents.
