Where is the difference between typhoon and hurricane？

The difference between the two is:

1. The place of birth and the activity area is different. Typhoon generally occurs west in western North Pacific and the international date change line, including the generation and tropical cyclone of the generation and activities of the South China Sea and the East China Sea. Hurricanes generally occur in tropical cyclones in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific.
2. Different level division. Typhoon with wind power above level 12 is divided into three levels, while the hurricane level is more and the upper limit is higher.
3. Different units that indicate the size of wind. Typhoon is used to how many or meters per second, and how many kilometers or miles or miles are used per hour for hurricanes.

Typhoon and hurricane formation is the same. Typhoon and hurricane originated from the tropical sea surface, where the temperature was high, and a large amount of seawater was evaporated into the air, forming a low -pressure center.

With the changes of the air pressure and the movement of the earth itself, the air flowing into the air also rotates, forming a air vortex that rotates counterclockwise, which is a tropical cyclone. As long as the temperature does not decrease, this tropical cyclone will become more and more powerful, and the typhoon and hurricane will be formed.

In the northern hemisphere, the typhoon rotates counterclockwise, while the southern hemisphere rotates smoothly. One reason for the emergence of hurricane in the tropical ocean is that the warm sea water is its power "fuel". It is generally accompanied by strong wind and heavy rain, which seriously threatens people's lives and property. It has caused a great impact on people's livelihood, agriculture, and economy. Natural disasters with great impact and serious harm.
