PHOTOS: The rise and fall of the storm that grew into the deadly Super Typhoon Nepartak

NASA/LANCE/EOSDIS Rapid ResponseThis July 7, 2016, image provided by NASA shows Typhoon Nepartak as it approaches Taiwan and the Philippines.Last week, the season's first typhoon formed in the Pacific Ocean and grew into a monster Super Typhoon that hit Taiwan, the Philippines, and the Fujian Province of China. It was the strongest tropical cyclone in the Northern Hemisphere so far this year.

Named Super Typhoon Nepartak after a Micronesian warrior, the storm killed at least 10 and injured hundreds more. Agriculture was hit hard as well, with Taitung county suffering an estimated 73% of their produce and $22.73 million.

Typhoons are not different than hurricanes, but they are classified as typhoons when they occur west of the International Date Line. They become Super Typhoons when their sustained winds reach 150 mph (which is equivalent to a strong Category 4 hurricane.) Storms of Nepartak's intensity are much more common in the western Pacific basin than the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific basins, and Taiwan is often hit by typhoons. In 2015, Typhoon Soudelor killed eight people in Taiwan and 21 in China.
