TYPHOONS
IN THE PHILIPPINES
Did you know that Typhoon, Hurricane and Cyclone are all essentially the same as they are all types of tropical storms? The only difference is where they are located. They are given different names depending on where they appear. Hurricanes are tropical storms that form over the North Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific. Cyclones are formed over the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean. Typhoons are formed over the Northwest Pacific Ocean.
