Answer:

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.
