Answer:

The location where the storm occurs

Explanation:

The only difference between a cyclone and a hurricane is the location where the storm occurs. Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons are the same thing, just different names are used for them depending on where they occur.

Hurricanes are extremely violent cyclones, typically originating near the equator and moving north. Hurricanes are usually accompanied by heavy rains.

Cyclones are violent storms with winds that twist clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere.
