What is the difference between a hurricane and a cyclone?
assistant
The main difference between a hurricane and a cyclone is that a hurricane occurs in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific oceans, while a cyclone is generally used to refer to a storm system that forms in the Indian and South Pacific ocean basins. Hurricanes tend to have a more circular shape and lower pressure than cyclones. Hurricanes can also have wind speeds of up to 155 miles per hour, whereas cyclones have maximum wind speeds of only around 75 miles per hour.
