What is difference between cyclone and hurricane

Open in App
Solution

The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone is the location where the storm occurs.

Hurricanes and cyclones are all the same weather phenomenon; we just use different names for these storms in different places. In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, the term “hurricane” is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a “typhoon” and “cyclones” occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.
