China.  They have an ongoing problem with Japan, and they could invade Taiwan.  This would be a BIG problem.

They are usually referred to as cyclones or tropical cyclones. A less official term also used is willy-willy.

Excellent question!!  And one which is never fully explained on any weather forecast/ weather station....\n\nWeather conditions are controlled by the air currents over the Pacific Ocean, for the most part, first of all.  You can watch typhoons or Pacific hurricanes travel westward, until they reach a landmass, then these low-pressure storms will turn North-Northeast and follow the jet stream, until they are turned South-southeast ward, and affect the U.S. northwest states, Washington, Oregon, California.....\n \nThese extra-tropical storms keep their strength as they travel around the path of the Northern jetstream, droping rain and producing winds not unlike a hurricane, as they follow the jetstream paths around the world.  \n\nAfter these storms, these Pineapple Expresses, have traversed the United States, they again gain strength over the Northern Atlantic ocean, and then let go of the precipatation over Britian and Europe, where the Original storm dies.....\n\nAgain, excellent question.  Hope this enlightens you!!

Hurricane and Typhoon names are selected by members of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).  This group is part of the United Nations.  The local or government meteorological organization will submit a name to the WMO after one has been retired off the lists maintained by the WMO.  The WMO will add the name and make it official.

The storms comparable to hurricanes that originate in the Pacific ocean are called typhoons.  \n\nI am sorry to say that it looks like Japan might have another very severe typhoon season this year.  In one very recent year they had far more than normal.\n\nOn rare occasions hurricanes can cross from the Carribean into the Pacific and regain strength becoming typhoons and vice versa.\n\nI believe they are called typhoons also when they hit China and the Philippines.\n\nFor Australia and India they are called cyclones, and that is also the generic name for all three.\n\nTyphoons can be the most spectacularly strong of all cyclones, and certainly hold the record for size.  Not difficult to understand when you consider the size of the Pacific Ocean and the fact that it is subject to heating as are the Atlantic and the Carribean, Gulf of Mexico.\n\nYou can monitor the potential for these by using the AVISO urls (sea level anomalies) found at my weather blog:\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/ki_te_moana\n\nThere is comprehensive weather info there if you take the time to delve into the blog and the Blog Roll.

Very little sadly.  Besides not building coastal communities there is very little we can do to avoid the damages caused by such events.  Some tsunami walls will help, but at a certain class of typhoon even those won't help.

Enumerating (or providing a set number of) the countries impacted by the circum-Pacific volcanic belt (more commonly known as the Ring of Fire) would be very hard to do.\n\nThis volcanic belt is absolutely massive. It affects 5 of the 7 continents:  North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica.\n\nI hope the website reference that I have provided is of some use to you.  The pictures may be a good starting point for counting the affected countries.

As there is a monsoon every year, and multiple typhoons every year, I am having trouble understanding what you want to know.  The biggest problem from monsoons is MOLD. Nasty mold. The monsoon season is in the beginning of summer, so it`s hot and wet. Other than having to be careful about mold, and to carry an umbrella everywhere - there are no special problems.\nAs for typhoons - things blow away, fishing boats get trashed, etc. The biggest problems I have personally seen have been rivers overflowing their banks due to a huge rush of water.\n\nJapan has dealt with these things forever. It`s a yearly event, so all the precautions are in place. It`s expected, so there really aren`t *that* many special problems.

Hurricanes occurr in the Atlantic and typhoons in the Pacific.  Otherwise, they're the same.  Typhoones tend to be stronger than hurricanes since the Pacific has more areas of open water.  Typhoons are named independently of hurricanes.  If a hurricane passes through Central America, it becomes a typhoon and vica-versa.

The eye is possibly the most recognizable feature of tropical cyclones. In strong tropical cyclones, the eye is a circular area of light winds and clear skies, surrounded on all sides by a towering vertical wall of thunderstorms, known as the eyewall. In weaker tropical cyclones, the eye is less defined, and can be covered by the central dense overcast, which is the area of high, thick clouds which show up brightly on satellite pictures. Rain may even fall heavily in the eye of a disorganized storm. In all storms, however, the eye is the location of the storm's minimum barometric pressure: the area where the atmospheric pressure at sea level is the lowest.[1][2]

"magnitude" is at which the scale the earthquake has devastated the region.
