What are cyclones in Australia known as?

by

(A) Hurricane
(B) Typhoon
(D) Tornado
(C) Willy-Willies

🧠 Explanation:

  • In Australia, cyclones are often referred to by the local term "Willy-Willies."
  • This term is commonly used to describe whirlwinds or dust devils, but it is also culturally extended to refer to cyclonic storms.
  • While "hurricane" and "typhoon" are regional names for the same type of storm in other parts of the world, Australia uses the term "cyclone" or "Willy-Willy."
  • Therefore, the correct answer is "Willy-Willies," as it reflects the regional terminology used in Australia.
