It seems that there might be a typo in your question regarding "raticanes." If you meant "hurricanes," the principal that allows for their division or classification is primarily meteorological in nature, involving concepts such as wind speed, pressure, and storm formation processes.
Hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones, are categorized using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which classifies them into five categories based on their sustained wind speeds. This categorization helps in assessing the potential damage and severity of the storms.
If you meant something else by "raticanes," could you please provide more context or clarify? I'd be happy to help!
