A hurricane is like a giant spinning storm that forms over warm ocean water. When the wind gets really strong and starts swirling around, it becomes a hurricane, but if it happens in the Pacific Ocean, we call it a typhoon instead. Both are made of strong winds and heavy rain, but they have different names depending on where they happen.
Examples
- A hurricane is like a giant whirlpool in the sky that forms over the ocean.
- If it happens near the Pacific Ocean, we might call it a typhoon instead of a hurricane.
- Hurricanes can cause heavy rain and strong winds, sometimes even flooding.
