<human>:  What is the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon?
<bot>: The main difference between a hurricane and a typhoon is that hurricanes form over the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, while typhoons form over the northwestern Pacific Ocean near East Asia and the Philippines. Hurricanes are caused by warm air and rotate counter-clockwise when viewed from above, while typhoons are driven by cold air and rotate clockwise. Hurricanes are usually more intense with stronger winds and heavier rainfall, while typhoons are usually more widespread and create larger storm systems.
