Can you explain the difference between a typhoon and a hurricane?

A typhoon is a type of tropical cyclone that forms over the warm waters of the western Pacific Ocean. It typically has sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h) with higher gusts, and can cause significant damage to coastal areas due to its high winds and heavy rainfall. Hurricanes are similar in nature but form over the Atlantic Ocean. They have sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h), with higher gusts, and can also cause significant damage to coastal areas due to their high winds and heavy rainfall.
