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.
