Ethylene glycol has a sweet taste and is often accidentally or intentionally ingested. Ethylene glycol is chemically broken down in the body into toxic compounds. It and its toxic byproducts first affect the central nervous system (CNS), then the heart, and finally the kidneys.
The basic difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane lies in the intensity of the cyclone. â¢ If the wind speeds of the cyclone are greater than 39 mph, it is referred to as a tropical storm. â¢ When the wind speeds become greater than 73 mph, the same cyclone becomes a hurricane (or a typhoon). â¢ When the wind speed remains below 38 mph, the cyclone is referred to as a tropical depression only.
What is the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon?. The answer is simple: a tropical cyclone is called a hurricane, a typhoon or a cyclone depending on the ocean basin in which it forms. Tropical cyclones that form in the Atlantic Basin and achieve 74 mph sustained wind speeds or higher are called hurricanes, and they are monitored by the National Hurricane Center.
