Can tornadoes occur in the water?

No. A tornado that moves onto water will keep going without being significantly affected. In such a case it is called a waterspout. Waterspouts can also develop on water and then move onto land as tornadoes. There are numerous examples of tornadoes crossing water. Most notably, the three deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history all crossed the Mississippi River. See the links below for tornadoes moving across water.

How are hurricanes tornadoes and typhoons different?

There really isn't a difference between hurricanes and typhoons. They are two names for the same type of storm: a hurricane is one that occurs in the Atlantic ocean or in the Pacific ocean east of the International Date Line. A typhoon is one that occurs in the Pacific ocean west of the International Date Line. However a hurricane is very different from a tornado. A tornado is relatively small, usually not more than a mile wide. Tornadoes usually form over land and can last anwhere from a few seconds to about three hours. A tornado causes damage with wind and flying debris. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms that are usually part of a large-scale storm system. A hurricane is huge, usually hundreds of miles across, sometimes over a thousand. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water and weaken rapidly over land Most hurricanes last a few days. Hurricanes cause damage through a combination of wind, debris, flooding from rain and storm surge, and large waves. A hurricane is itself a large storm system.
