The majority of hurricanes develop off the coast of West Africa in the Atlantic Ocean

Explanation:

The warm water in the tropical regions off the coast of Africa create the energy for the formation of tropical storms that gain energy as the storm moves across the Atlantic Ocean.
o
The prevailing East West winds in the tropical region of the Atlantic curve counter clockwise as the storm encounters the West East winds of North America. The circular motion combines with the heat energy of the tropical storm to create a hurricane.
