Typhoon facts
1. The eye of a typhoon or hurricane can be anywhere between 3.2 km (2mi) across right up to 320 km (200mi) in diameter.
2. A Typhoon only becomes a super-typhoon once surface winds of over 240 km/h (150mph) have been sustained for more than a minute.
3. Due to its location in the tropics, the Philippines is one of the most prone countries to typhoons, as well as other natural disasters like earthquakes because it is also in a tectonic danger zone- the ring of fire

Tsunami effects
Tsunami facts
1. About 80% of Tsunamis happen within the pacific oceans " Ring of Fire."
The effects of a tsunami on a coastline can range from unnoticeable to devastating. The effects of a tsunami depend on the characteristics of the seismic event that generated the tsunami, the distance from its point of origin, its size (magnitude) and, at last, the configuration of the bathymetry (that is the depth of water in oceans) along the coast that the tsunami is approaching.
2. The wave of Tsunami is usually not the strongest, successive waves get bigger and stronger.
3. Tsunamis can travel at speeds of about 500 miles or 805 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as a jet plane.
4. The states in the U.S. at greatest risk are Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California.

Tsunami vs Typhoon
Tsunami is a is a series of waves, made in an ocean or other body of water by an Earthquake, Landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact.
Infamous for their destructive powers, typhoons can generate winds of more than 75 miles/hour and have been known to cause flash floods with their intensive rainfall. Buildings and infrastructure, trees and other vegetation, watercraft and water operations, and human and animal life can all be affected.
