Basically, if something greatly out-of-the-ordinary happens on the surface of the Earth, we might be able to classify it as a storm. Some storms bring an array of different types of precipitation, others feature dense cloud layers, low visibility, high winds, and other types of hazards.

Regardless of where you live in this world, at some point in your life, you’ve probably experienced a major storm. From snowstorms to hurricanes and tornadoes, there are a whole host of different types of storms that can wreak havoc across the planet.

Tropical Storms that form in the Caribbean or North American region are known as hurricanes. Those that form in the Far East, close to places like China and Japan are known as typhoons and those that form in the Indian Ocean are called cyclones.

Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates.
