Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones are all different names for the same type of weather phenomenon, which is a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour (119 kilometers per hour). The name used depends on the location of the cyclone. Hurricanes are typically used to describe tropical cyclones that form in the Atlantic Ocean or northeastern Pacific Ocean, typhoons are used to describe tropical cyclones that form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, and cyclones are used to describe tropical cyclones that form in the Indian Ocean or South Pacific Ocean.
