(http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/7u.html) Each of the questions below asks you to identify whether a tropical
cyclone is either a hurricane, typhoon, or cyclone. To identify which one it is correctly, you must first determine the storm's
location. If a tropical cyclone is located in the Eastern Pacific or North Atlantic, then it is called a hurricane. If a tropical cyclone is
located in the Western/North Pacific, then it is called a typhoon. Finally, if the tropical cyclone is located in the South Pacific or
the Indian Ocean, then it is called simply a cyclone.
