Answer:

1. Tropical storms have a warm core, while mid-latitude cyclones have a cold core.

2. Tropical storms form over warm tropical oceans (usually between 5° and 25° latitude from the equator), while mid-latitude cyclones form in the mid-latitude region (usually between 30° and 60° latitude from the equator)

3. Tropical Storms have no fronts, while mid-latitude cyclones have weather fronts where warm and cold air masses meet.
