<human>:  What is the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon?
<bot>: The difference between a hurricane and a typhoon is that hurricanes form over the North Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans, while typhoons form over the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes are characterized by winds that can exceed 155 miles per hour and vortices that rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Typhoons form in areas of high cyclonic activity and have winds that can reach speeds of more than 160 miles per hour.
