Typhoons are tropical cyclones. In order to form and maintain themselves they need enormous amounts of moisture in the air. The amounts needed can only be found over warm ocean water. If a typhoon moves over land or cold water it will lose strength.

No, typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclone are all the exact same thing except where they originate in the world.
Hurricanes and typhoons originate in tropical ocean waters, typically in areas where warm, moist air rises and creates low-pressure systems. The primary difference between them lies in their location: hurricanes form in the Atlantic and northeastern Pacific Oceans, while typhoons develop in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Both phenomena require warm sea surface temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions to intensify.
Japan typically refers to hurricanes as typhoons. Typhoons occur in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, including the South China Sea and the Philippine Sea.
Typhoons do not originate from countries or national states. Typhoons are natural meteorological phenomena that originate from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Atlantic storms are known as hurricanes, while Pacific ones are commonly called typhoons.

Hurricanes that occur over the China Sea are called typhoons. Typhoons are large tropical cyclones that form in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean and can have significant impacts on countries in the region, including China, Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines.
In the far East, whirlwind systems are called typhoons. They are large, powerful tropical cyclones that originate in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Typhoons can bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges, leading to significant damage in coastal areas.
The storms that we call hurricanes are called typhoons in the waters near east and southeast Asia. These storms usually originate in the tropical waters of the western Pacfic Ocean.
Most typhoons that hit the Philippines originate from the Pacific Ocean, particularly the region known as the ''Pacific Typhoon Belt.'' Typhoons are formed when warm ocean waters fuel the development of low-pressure systems, which then intensify into powerful storms as they move westward towards the Philippines.
Usually typhoons occur in tropical area where their is warm water. Typhoons causes are also moisture and inward spiraling winds. Developing typhoons gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters plus moisture by evaporation from the sea surface powers them like giant heat engines.
