Cyclones are referred to by different names depending on their location. In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific regions, they are called hurricanes, while in the Northwest Pacific, they are known as typhoons. In the South Pacific and Indian ocean, the term cyclone is used. Each type of storm shares similar characteristics but is categorized based on its geographic origin.
