Storms can be called hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones, but what’s the real difference? Think of them like friends who all know each other but have different names depending on where they hang out. If a storm happens near America, it’s called a hurricane. In Asia, it becomes a typhoon. And in Australia, it might be known as a cyclone. All are the same kind of storm, just with different names based on location.
Examples
- A hurricane forms near America, like in Florida.
- A typhoon hits Japan after forming in the Pacific Ocean.
- A cyclone strikes Australia during the summer months.
