Theliterarystyle1.飓风和台风都是指风速达到33米/秒以上，形成于北半球的热带气旋。两者只是因发生的地域不同，才有了不同名称。①印度洋和在北太平洋西部、国际日期变更线以西，包括南中国海范围内发生的热带气旋称为“台风”；比如在东亚、东南亚一带就称为“台风”。②而在大西洋或北太平洋东部的热带气旋则称“飓风”。也就是说，台风在欧洲、北美一带称“飓风”。

Thedifferencebetween

typhoon2.飓风一词源自加勒比海语中的恶魔Hurricane，亦有说是玛雅人神话中创世众神的其中一位，就是雷暴与旋风之神Hurakan。将强大而深厚（最大风速达32.7米/秒，风力为12级以上），发生在大西洋和北印度洋地区的热带气旋称为飓风，也泛指狂风和任何热带气旋以及风力达12级的任何大风。飓风中心有一个风眼，风眼愈小，破坏力愈大。Thedifferencebetween

hurricane

and

typhoon3.而台风一词则源自希腊神话中大地之母盖亚之子Typhoon。台风是发生在热带大平洋上的一种强气旋性涡旋，总伴有狂风暴雨。根据中心附近的最大风力分级，12级以上的通称台风。在北半球，台风呈逆时针方向旋转，而在南半球则呈顺时针方向旋转。台风产生于热带海洋的一个原因是因为温暖的海水是它的动力“燃料”，它一般伴随强风、暴雨，严重威胁人们的生命财产，对于民生、农业、经济等造成极大的冲击，是一种影响较大，危害严重的自然灾害。Thedifferencebetween
