How does a hurricane form?
1 Answer
Hurricanes only form on warm ocean waters of about 80°F. This is why it is common in the tropics where temperatures are high all year round. Hurricanes also need wind action to form.
Warm air, together with moisture from evaporation from the ocean surface rises, creating low pressure on the water surface, which is immediately replaced by cooler air. This process continues, and the resulting moisture-laden clouds begin to expand. Thunderstorms with rains form. As this increase in speed it grows into Hurricane
