Answer 1

All of these three terms i.e Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are the same weather phenomenon and we just use different names for these storms in different places. In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, the term 'hurricane' is used. In the Northwest Pacific ,it is called a typhoon and cyclones occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.
