What's the difference between hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons?

Hurricanes are tropical storms that form over the North Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific. Cyclones are formed over the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. Typhoons are formed over the Northwest Pacific Ocean. Collectively, these storms are referred to as tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones are characterised by very high wind speeds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges - short-term rises to sea-levels. This often causes widespread damage and flooding. They begin as atmospheric disturbances, external - such as, for example, a tropical wave, an area of low pressure where thunderstorms and clouds develop. As warm, moist air rises from the ocean surface, winds begin to spin. The process is linked to how the Earth's rotation affects winds in tropical regions just away from the equator. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cz7pg0rlw4pt
