    Explanation:
    • According to the India Meteorological Department forecast, Cyclone Amphan (pronounced as UM-PUN) is a tropical cyclone formed over Bay of Bengal that has intensified and likely to turn into a “super cyclonic storm (maximum wind speed is 120 knots)”. Hence statement 1st is correct.
    • Tropical cyclones are called typhoons in the North Pacific region. In the North Atlantic Region, they are called ‘hurricanes’. Hence statement 2nd is incorrect.
    • They rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere because of the coriolis effect. Hence statement 3rd is correct.
