A hurricane that forms in the Pacific or Indian Ocean is called a cyclone. Cyclones are tropical storms with strong winds that rotate around a low-pressure center. They are equivalent to hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean.
A storm system called a 'Tropical Cyclone' also known as a 'Hurricane' if it forms over the Atlantic, a 'Cyclone' if it forms over the Indian ocean and a 'Typhoon' if it forms over the Pacific.
A typhoon is a type of storm called a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of 74 mph or greater that occurs in the Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line and north of the equator. A tropical cyclone is a type of storm system defined by low barometric pressure, a closed circulation, and having tropical characteristics such as core of warm air.
The correct designation for a hurricane is a tropical cyclone. It can also be referred to as a typhoon or cyclone, depending on the region where it forms.
No, a typhoon is a type of tropical cyclone that forms over warm ocean waters. It is a weather phenomenon, not a geological one.

Hurricanes and typhoons are tropical cyclones. A tropical cyclone is a large scale weather system that forms over warm ocean water characterized by low pressure, a closed circulation, a warm core, and organized convection. A hurricane is a northern hemisphere tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph occurring in the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific. A typhoon is the exact same thing only occurring in the western Pacific Ocean.
A hurricane forms over warm, tropical waters, including the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Indian Ocean.

Fronts are not associated with tropical systems.
A hurricane is a type of cyclone, specifically a tropical cyclone that forms over warm ocean waters. These storms have low pressure systems at their centers and spin counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, an anticyclone is a high-pressure system where air descends and rotates clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that blows in a large spiral around a relatively calm center eye.
A cyclone is not necessarily restricted to the Pacific Ocean. Cyclones are also often formed and found in the Indian Ocean, northwest of Australia. 'Cyclone' is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. These tropical storms tend to be 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.
