difference between hurricane and typhoon
Hurricanes hit more land areas than do typhoons. A typhoon develops in the ocean and consequently it tends damages less land areas. People living near the shore lines are more affected by typhoons however. Both hurricanes and typhoons move in a spiralling motion but they differ in the direction of their spirals. Hurricanes can move in both directions; clockwise and counter clockwise, while typhoons only move in a clockwise direction.
Hurricanes and typhoons also differ in the time of year they tend to occur. Hurricanes develop in the Western Atlantic Ocean during summer. It is usually occurring during the month of October when the humidity and the water temperature are at their highest when Hurricanes develop.
