A hurricane in the western Pacific is called a typhoon.
An Atlantic typhoon is called a hurricane. They generally form in the eastern Atlantic Ocean but sometimes form in the Gulf of Mexico.
Typhoons cannot form over land and therefore cannot form over mountains; they can only form over warm ocean water. A typhoon that moves over a mountainous area will lose strength very quickly as the high terrain will force it to drop most of its moisture as rain.
In the ocean.
Warm ocean water increases the supply of water vapor that the typhoon needs.
Tornados can form over land, but hurricanes only form over the ocean.

Over a warm area of Ocean.
A hurricane, by definition, occurs over the Atlantic Ocean or the Eastern Pacific. The same type of storm in other regions goes by other names, such as typhoon or cyclone.
Typhoons don't form over land because they are created when the surface of the ocean must be warm enough for water to easily evaporate. Then, the water starts spinning by the fast evaporation and becomes a tropical cyclone. Wind speeds pick up and form into high winds. If the wind speeds pick up to over 75 MPH, that makes it officially a typhoon. Typhoons cannot be formed over land because typhoon are made of water.
