Question

g Typhoon is the term used to describe an intense storm forming over the tropical waters of the northern Atlantic ocean, and containing winds exceeding 64 knots. Group of answer choices True False

Answer 1

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

A typhoon is a type of tropical storm that forms over the Western Pacific Oceans. Whereas an intense storm that forms over the northern Atlantic ocean is known as a hurricane. Depending on the terminology, the storms are all named or called according to the paces they occur. In the Indian region, they are called cyclones.

Though the hurricane and typhoon are similar in almost all aspects, their only difference lies in their places of occurrence. While the term "typhoon" is generally used in the Western Pacific regions, "hurricane" is used in the Atlantic regions. Moreover, hurricanes are formed over the warm Northern Atlantic and Eastern North Pacific Oceans whereas typhoons are formed over the warm Western North Pacific Oceans.
