<human>:  Can you explain the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon?
<bot>: A hurricane and a typhoon are both tropical cyclones, which are large rotating low pressure systems that form over warm waters in the tropics. The main difference is that the term hurricane is typically used to refer to a storm that forms in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean or the eastern Pacific, while a typhoon refers to a storm that forms in the northwestern Pacific. In addition, hurricanes usually carry higher wind speeds than typhoons.
