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.
