What is the difference between a hurricane, typhoon and cyclone?
assistant
The main difference between a hurricane, typhoon and cyclone is their location. Hurricanes typically occur in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, while typhoons occur in the Northwest Pacific. Cyclones, on the other hand, tend to occur in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific. All three are large, violent tropical storms that can cause significant damage, but the strength of the winds and the associated storm surge can vary based on the region.
