Tornado is the correct answer. A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. Tornadoes are known for their extremely high wind velocities, which can reach up to 300 miles per hour (480 kilometers per hour) or more.

To understand the difference between the other options, it`s important to note that typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones are all essentially the same weather phenomenon, but they are called different names based on their location. They are characterized by strong wind speeds and heavy rainfall, but their wind speeds are generally lower than those of tornadoes.

Alert - correct answer should be 2 "Hurricane."
