Answer 4

They are the same thing.

There are 3 different names for major tropical storms, hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones.

Hurricanes typically are in the Atlantic, the eastern part of the Pacific, and from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.

Typhoons typically happen in the western Pacific. Places like Japan, Vietnam, and pretty much the eastern part of Asia.

Tropical Cyclones typically happen in the southern part of Asia and Australia, in the Indian Ocean.

They are the same thing, all must reach wind speeds of 74 mph or greater to acheive the name.
