Hurricanes are usually found in tropical and subtropical waters when weather conditions are right. They form north of 10 degrees north or south of 10 degrees south. To rotate they need the force of the earth's rotation which they do not have at the equator. (See a physics text book.) They like low pressure and warm water below, moisture and high pressure aloft. They do not form when there are high winds aloft. They do not form when there is dry air aloft. When moisture turns to rain it produces 540 calories per gram. That provides the heat to produce the winds drive the storm. The winds churn up the ocean below to produce more moisture.
So hurricanes are found where the right conditions exist.
Hurricanes can still exist over water where it is too cold for them to form. Their high winds can churn up enough water to keep the process going when there is no where near enough moisture to get hurricane force winds and a cyclical storm started.
Hurricanes form over tropical waters between 8 and 20 degrees latitude. They occur in areas of high humidity, light winds, and warm sea surface temperatures [typically 26.5 degrees Celsius (80 Fahrenheit) or greater]. These conditions usually prevail in the summer and early fall months of the tropical North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans, and for this reason, hurricane “season” in the northern hemisphere runs from June through November.
Between 8 and 20 degrees latitude or sometimes 5 to 20 degrees latitude.
Hurricanes are found in Humid oceanic areas, because they need the Moisture from the water, which has to be above 80° Farhrenheit.
hurricanes are usually found in the north and south part of the world
hurricane develop in the mid-Atlantic ocean between latitudes 8 to 20 north
Hurricanes are typically found over the ocean in tropical latitudes.

Hurricanes need very warm moist air to form. The amount of moisture needed can only be found over warm ocean water.Hurricanes gain get their energy from the large amounts of moisture that eveporate from warm ocean water. There is not enough moisture over land for hurricanes to form or sustain themselves.
Hurricanes are experienced more in the Pacific Ocean. The western Pacific experiences more hurricanes. The Atlantic and the Indian Ocean also experience hurricanes.
No, hurricanes are confined to the tropics. Hurricanes require a lot of energy from warm ocean water. It is far too cold in and around Antarctica to support hurricanes.
The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.
The statements "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" and "Hurricanes have strong winds" are both true. Tornadoes most certainly can kill people.
Hurricanes happen every year.
A list of hurricanes is more likely to be found in an almanac that focuses on weather and natural disasters. Encyclopedias may include information on significant hurricanes, but a comprehensive list of hurricanes is more commonly found in specialized weather resources.
they can be found all over the earth except Antarctica Hurricanes specifically form over tropical ocean waters.
Hurricanes happen over hot water ... which is found close to the equator.
how did hurricanes start? For my whole life I was wondering how hurricanes start but noone has found an answer so please tell me how it started.
Yes. Some of the lowest sea-level pressure on Earth are found in the eyes of major hurricanes.
Alaska doesn't have hurricanes. Hurricanes occur in warm tropical water and Alaska is not located at or below the equator where the tropics are found.
Hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tornadoes can all cause damage to vegetation and man made structure through their winds. Hurricanes and thunderstorms both produce rain, which can sometimes lead to flooding. It should be noted that hurricanes produce thunderstorms and thunderstorms, including those found in hurricanes, are what produce tornadoes.
Tornadoes can be found on land, mostly like in the Tornado Alley area such as Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. Hurricanes can be found out in the ocean and coast areas primarily in tropical regions.
Italy does not have hurricanes. Hurricanes form over tropical waters.
Hurricanes are powerful swirling storms found in tropical parts of the Atlantic Ocean (called tropical cyclones in Asia or typhoons in Oceania ) . Hurricanes usually begin over tropical parts of the world's oceans where the temperature is more than 27 degree Celsius.
Hurricanes are primarily found in regions near the equator, including countries in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and eastern Pacific Ocean. Some countries that frequently experience hurricanes include the United States, Mexico, Cuba, and the Bahamas.
