Solution

Dear student,
The difference between the cyclone, hurricane and typhoon is the place where the storm occurs. It is just the use of the different names in the different place where this weather phenomenon occurs.
The hurricane word is used for the storm occurring in Atlantic and Northeast Pacific.
The term typhoon is used the Northwest Pacific regions.
The term cyclone is generally used for the storm occurring at the South Pacific and Indian ocean.
