Hurricane and Typhoon

I have been confused by the definition of hurricanes and typhoons for many years. I learned that both of them can cause severe destruction along the coastal areas, though I have never experienced such bad situations because I live in an inland area. I saw all the news about hurricanes and typhoons on TV or the internet, they can form rotating storms. I cannot tell the difference between them.

I'm not alone. When in a casual chat with my friend yesterday, I came to know that they are really mostly the same. In simple summary, both of them are tropical cyclones, we name "Hurricane" if come form in the Atlantic Ocean and name "Typhoon" if they form in the Pacific Ocean. As common people, we can ignore their very subtle difference.

It's so interesting. There might be some stories why scientists give their names.
