Tropical cyclones typically occur over tropical waters between 5 degrees and 22 degrees latitude, except for in the southeast Pacific and south Atlantic. They commonly occur off the northwest coast of Western Australia, in the Gulf of Carpentaria and in the Coral Sea.
Hurricanes and typhoons occur in tropical areas, but can move into extratropical areas as well. There are different types of cyclone, however. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms and tropical depressions) form in tropical regions but extratropical and polar lows are cyclones as well.
hurricanes typhoons and cyclones........... your welcome
The three tropical cyclones are hurricanes (Atlantic and eastern Pacific), typhoons (western Pacific), and cyclones (South Pacific and Indian Ocean). Each region uses a different name, but they are all essentially the same weather phenomenon.
Cyclones in the western hemisphere are generally called hurricanes.
Americans tend to call them Hurricanes and in Asia they usually call the Typhoons.
a tropical storm.. if it was a hurricane-status in the atlantic, it would be called a typhoon.
Australia (Western Australia and Queensland)
Technically, the term hurricane applies to an intense tropical cyclone in the northern hemisphere occurring either in either the Atlantic Ocean or in the Pacific Ocean east of 180 degrees longitude. Intense tropical cyclones in the west of the line and north of the equator are called typhoons while those south of the equator are simply called cyclones.
In the Far East, a hurricane is called a typhoon. Hurricanes and typhoons are types of tropical cyclones. In other regions of the world, such as the Caribbean area or parts of the North Atlantic Ocean, these storms are called hurricanes.
Most of the Tropical cyclones what affect to the Philippines form over the Caroline Islands area located in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean. Some also form in the South China Sea.
Typhoons, cyclones, and hurricanes are the same thing. Typhoons occur in the western Pacific Ocean Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico; intense form of tropical storm Cyclones occur near the Indian Ocean and Australia. They need very warm ocean water and an air disturbance to keep warm air rising to last.
