Yes, hurricanes can and do form, notably off the western coasts of Central America and Mexico. These can affect the US and Mexican coasts. They also form in the mid-Pacific in the tropical air masses north of the equator (such as near Hawaii).
Hurricanes that form in the western Pacific are called typhoons north of the equator, and cyclones south of the equator. Typhoons regularly strike Japan and other Asian countries. Below the equator, Australia and New Guinea are affected by cyclones that move south from Indonesia.

Hurricanes typically form over warm ocean waters near the equator. The majority of hurricanes originate in the Atlantic Ocean, particularly in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. They can also form in the Pacific Ocean, primarily in the region near Southeast Asia and the western coast of North and South America.
Hurricanes and typhoons are both terms for tropical cyclones, which are large storms that form over warm ocean waters. The main difference between them is their location: hurricanes occur in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific Ocean, while typhoons occur in the western Pacific Ocean.
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.
Apex huh(; tropical cycloneBoth are terms for a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
No, hurricanes must form over the ocean.
A hurricane in the western Pacific is called a typhoon.
Cyclones typically form over warm ocean waters near the equator. The location where a cyclone forms can vary depending on the region and type of cyclone—hurricanes form in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, typhoons in the western Pacific, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean. The specific conditions that lead to cyclone formation include warm sea surface temperatures, high humidity, and a low-pressure system.

Hurricanes don't form in countries because they cannot develop over land. Most countries that border an ocean in or near the tropics, generally on the west side of the ocean, can get hurricanes.
Florida is a peninsula. A peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides, in this case the ocean. Hurricanes are formed over the ocean. Therefore, Florida has many hurricanes.
There have been tornadoes in Madagascar that have caused serious damage. A tropical storm that originates over the Indian Ocean and winds get to 74 miles per hour are called cyclones. Hurricanes form over the Atlantic Ocean. Typhoons form over the Pacific Ocean.

Tornadoes generally form over land, not the ocean. You are thinking of hurricanes. The term hurricane refers to a tropical cyclone that occurs over the Atlantic Ocean or the eastern Pacific ocean.
No. Hurricanes can't form over land. Hurricanes typically form over the Atlantic Ocean. The Midwestern U.S. is, however prone to tornadoes.
Yes. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
