Answer 5

Hurricanes and Typhoons are cyclones, the difference being location. Hurricanes originate in the equatorial regions of the Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean Sea while Typhoons occur the western Pacific or Indian oceans. This distinction was taught in the 60's but now seems to have gotten confused because even meteorologists have been using the terms erroneously.

Answer 6
