The difference between ghost whirlwind and spirit whirlwind
These two phenomena are different from: weather phenomena and natural phenomena.
1. A ghost cyclone is a weather phenomenon, usually caused by a tornado. It forms a rotating airflow in the air, which creates a strong suction force that sucks dust, debris and other materials on the ground into the cyclone. center and fly into the sky with the rotating air current.
2. Spirit whirlwind is a more common natural phenomenon, which is caused by vortices in the air flow. When the air flows, if it encounters certain obstacles or terrain changes, it will form a rotating air flow in a local area. This is a spiritual cyclone. It usually does not produce the strong suction that a ghost cyclone does, nor does it suck ground material into it.
