Hurricanes have heavy rains and are therefore more likely to cause floods. Droughts occur when there is a lack of rainfall.

Hurricanes and typhoons are both violent storms that develop over water. If the storm develops in the Atlantic or Caribbean it is referred to as a hurricane.

If it develops in the Pacific, it is known as a typhoon. The largest glaciers in the world are found in the polar ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland.

Glaciers are also found in mountains. A current is a steady flowing movement of air or water.
