A hurricane that crosses the international date line is called a typhoon.
A hurricane can't exactly cause a typhoon, but it can become one if it is in the Pacific Ocean and crosses the International Date Line
There is only one single International Dateline on the Earth. That's why it's called the "international" one ... it applies equally to any person, from any country, who crosses it, or uses it in his geographic calculations. Santo Pekoa International Airport on Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu is located at 15.508° south latitude 167.219° east longitude. That location is about 18 degrees or 1,200 miles due west of the International Dateline.
Yes. It crosses the Prime Meridian. The other two lines mentioned are both parallel to the equator, and to each other.
During the course of that trip, you cross the Dateline going west. Whenever one crosses the Dateline going west, he leaves the time on his clock unchanged, but he advances his calendar one day. That is, if his calendar reads July 24, he cranks it ahead to July 25.
The International Date line crosses the Arctic and Pacific oceans.
Typhoon is the name given to storms in the North Pacific west of the dateline.
The International Dateline crosses ALL parallels of latitude. The Tropic of Capricorn is the parallel of roughly 23.5° south latitude.
The International Dateline completely crosses both the northern and southern hemispheres. There's no position (latitude) in either hemisphere that's not on that line.

The International Date Line is an imaginary line of longitude of 180 degrees around the Earth. It works when a person crosses the line from the east to the west a day is added. The opposite effect happens when crossing from west to the east with a day subtracted.

It losses strength.
Nothing in particular happens; if you happen to be napping aboard the ship at the moment of crossing, you can sleep right through it, just as you do when crossing any other meridian of longitude. By international agreement, however, your calendar date becomes one less when you cross the International Date Line going east.
Believe it or not, Alaska is actually the most northeastern state in addition to being the most northwestern, northern, eastern, and western. This is all because Alaska crosses the International Dateline (180˚), making it a part of the Eastern Hemisphere. Despite this, Maine is typically thought to be the northeastern-most state.
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.
