Are typhoons less destructive than hurricanes?
No. Typhoons and hurricanes are basically the same thing. The only differences is in where they occur. Hurricanes are in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific while typhoons are in the western Pacific
Where do hurricanes occur on the equator?
No, Hurricanes occur in the tropics, but at the equator there is not enough Coriolis force to start them turning.
When are Cyclones Hurricanes Typhoons and Tornadoes most likely to occur?
Cyclones are a broad category of storm systems that include hurricanes and typhoons and occur at all times of storm. Hurricanes and typhoons are essentially the same kind of storm only caller hurricanes in the north Atlantic and northeast Pacific and are called typhoons in the northwest Pacific Ocean. North Atlantic hurricanes mostly occur in June-November. Northeast Pacific hurricanes mostly occur May-November. Typhoons typically occur April-January. Tornadoes are most common in the months of April-June
What continents have had most hurricanes?
Asia is the continent struck most frequently by tropical cyclones, the generic term for storms such as hurricanes. Such storms are only called hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific oceans.
What are tropical cyclones in a large spiral around relatively calmly center eye?
The name varies with where they occur. In the waters of the Atlantic and eastern Pacific in the northern hemisphere such storms are called hurricanes. In the western Pacific north of the equator they are called typhoons. In the southern Pacific and Indian Oceans they are simply called cyclones.

From June through November, with September being especially active.

Does typhoons turn into hurricanes when they hit land?
No. A typhoon is essentially the same thing as a hurricane, the difference is where in the world they occur. A hurricane is a storm that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific. A typhoon is the same type of storm in the western Pacific. Making landfall does not make a difference. However, a hurricane that crosses into the western Pacific becomes a typhoon and a typhoon that crosses into the eastern Pacific becomes a hurricane, though this is less common.
Are hurricanes named only by the national weather service?
yes
What countries do hurricanes occur?
Hurricanes occur in the North Atlantic and East Pacific Ocean where ever water is warm enough (generally around 80 degrees) and a few degrees north of the equator. Cyclones and typhoons are found farther west in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, though they are exactly the same type of storm.
