Is x kilometers per hour faster than x miles per hour?
No, x kilometers per hour and x miles per hour are equal speeds. The conversion factor between kilometers and miles is 1.60934, so when converting from kilometers to miles, the number decreases but the speed remains the same.
What is a violent tropical storm with winds in excess of 74 miles per hour?
A cyclone or hurricane
What happens to a tropical depression in a hurricane?
A tropical depression is a weak tropical cyclone wind sustained winds of less than 39 miles per hour. As the depression is fueled by moisture from warm ocean water it gains strength and becomes more organized. When wind speeds reach 39 mph it becomes a tropical storm. When they reach 74 mph it becomes a hurricane.
How does typhoon differ from tropical storm or tropical depression?
First, it is a tropical depression with heavy clouds and thunderstorms. Next, it is a tropical storm when the wind gets to 39 miles per hour. Lastly, it becomes a (hurricane,typhoon,cyclone) when the wind hits 74 miles per hour.
Wind speed above 74 miles per hour tropical depression tropical disturbance tropical storm?
If a tropical system has sustained winds greater than 74 miles per hour then it is a full-fledged hurricane.
When winds exceed 93 miles per hour what does a tropical depression become?
A speed of 93 miles per hour has no significance in tropical systems. At 74 miles per hour a tropical storm becomes a category 1 hurricane. At 96 miles per hour a hurricane is considered to be a category 2.
What are the stages that a tropical cyclone goes through?
A tropical disturbance can become a tropical depression, which can then lead to a tropical storm and on to a tropical cyclone, or hurricane. (The differentiation between a cyclone and hurricane depends on the strength and location -- it becomes a hurricane when it hits land and exceeds wind speeds of over 74 miles per hour)

At what wind speed do tropical storms become hurricanes?
There is not set lower limit. A tropical depression, the weakest level of tropical cyclone is defined by having a closed Circulation. However. A tropical depression usually has sustained winds of at least 30 mph.
Arrange these steps in hurricane formation in order from first to last Category 1 to 5 storm Tropical depression Unorganized mass of thunderstorms Winds up to 74 miles per hour?
In order they are : tropical disturbance, tropical depression, tropical storm, sustained winds over 74 mph (hurricane/typhoon).
How did hurricane Isaac start?
Hurricanes form in tropical regions where there is warm water, typically at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 27 degrees Celsius, moist air and converging equatorial winds. Most Atlantic hurricanes begin off the west coast of Africa and start out as thunderstorms that move out over the warm and tropical ocean waters. A thunderstorm reaches hurricane status in three stages. A tropical depression has swirling clouds and rain with wind speeds of less than 38 miles per hour. A tropical storm has wind speeds of 39 to 73 miles per hour and a hurricane has wind speeds greater than 74 miles per hour. It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to several days for a thunderstorm to develop into a hurricane. Chances are Hurricane Isaac began the same way most every hurricane starts.
What is a knot in a tropical depression?
A knot is a measure of speed, in this case wind speed. 1 knot is equal to about 1.15 miles per hour.
What is a tropical has winds between 40 and 73 miles per hour?
Yes. A tropical storm has sustained winds of 39-73mph.
When winds blow 39 mph per hour with tropical depression is a what storm?
If sustained winds reach or exceed 39 mph, a tropical depression becomes a tropical storm.
