飓风，台风，旋风，龙卷风和风暴潮的差别
飓风和台风都是指风速达到33米/秒以上的热带气旋，只是因发生的地域不同，才有了不同名称。生成于西北太平洋和我国南海的强烈热带气旋被称为“台风”；生成于大西洋、加勒比海以及北太平洋东部的则称“飓风”；而生成于印度洋、阿拉伯海、孟加拉湾的则称为“旋风”。飓风在一天之内就能释放出惊人的能量。飓风与龙卷风也不能混淆。后者的时间很短暂，属于瞬间爆发，最长也不超过数小时。前者则在海上。
风暴潮指由强烈大气扰动，如热带气旋（台风、飓风）、温带气旋等引起的海面异常升高现象。沿海验潮站或河口水位站所记录的海面升降，通常为天文潮、风暴潮、（地震）海啸及其他长波振动引起海面变化的综合特征。
