Answer 1

Typhoons and hurricanes are the same type of storm...that is a tropical cyclone. It is just their location is different. They are characterized by a intense low pressure system with closed circular wind fields of or greater than 33 m/s (74 mph) in a warm...moist tropical environment. Since they are fueled by the heat and moisture from the ocean, they can only form over tropical waters near but not on the equator. They normally will form more than 5 degrees latitude from the equator due to the lack of the Coriolis force on the equator.

Hurricanes are tropical cyclones that are located either in the Atlantic Ocean or in the Pacific Ocean East of the International Date Line (Eastern Pacific)

Typhoons are located in the Pacific Ocean West of the International Date Line and North of the equator.

The name is a corruption of a Chinese word dàféng meaning "great wind."

Tropical cyclones always turn counter clockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of the equator due to the Coriolis affect.

Answer 2

Hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones are all different names for tropical revolving storms. They are called hurricanes in the Atlantic and the eastern Pacific. They are typhoons in the South China Sea (northwest Pacific) and tropical cyclones in the Indian ocean and the south Pacific.

There are many tropical cyclone/hurricane/typhoon warning centres around the world. Each has a list of names which have been approved by the World Meteorological Organisation. Those lists that use human names, alternate male and female and have done since Australia started the practice in 1975.

The approved lists for all the warning centres can be found here:

Answer 4

You can't compare a man to a woman. Each is different. But a man, and a woman, complement each other. In other words, one man and one woman (together) is one unit. They are a complementary pair.
