Are storms in the Pacific Ocean called hurricanes?

It depends on 3 things.They must be tropicalThey must produce sustained winds of at least 74 mphThey must occur in the potion east of the International Date Line and north of the equatorStorms of the same type west of the date line are called typhoons and ones south of the equator are called cyclones. The only country in the world that has hurricanes on the Pacific Ocean is Mexico, no other, none, we have them all, you like everybody else have them over our gulf, The Gulf of Mexico, but we have the largest Pacific sea board in America, so we get all the storms which we always call Huricanes.


Where do hurricanes typically form over?

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.


Where do hurricanes go if they do not hit land?

Hurricanes typically travel towards the poles or out to sea if they do not make landfall. They can weaken and dissipate over cold waters or weaken naturally as they move away from warm ocean temperatures that fuel their strength.


Hurricanes eventually move back out to sea and blow themselves out?

Hurricanes can weaken and dissipate over time due to factors like encountering cooler waters or wind shear. As they move over land, they lose the warm ocean water that fuels their intensity. The friction from the land surface can also disrupt the storm's structure and cause it to break apart.

What are the differences of cyclones?

'Cyclone' is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. These tropical storms are called 'cyclones' in the Southern Hemisphere, and they rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere, where cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean, they are called hurricanes and those in the South China Sea and regions of Asia are called typhoons. Northern hemisphere cyclones rotate anti-clockwise, so are sometimes called "anti-cyclones".
