Why do winds spiral towards the center of the hurricane?
Winds move toward the center of a hurricane because of the low pressure generated by the upward motion of the air inside it.
What is the name of tropical cyclones that blow in a large spiral around a relatively calm center eye?
a hurricane!!! There are three usua names Hurricane, Cyclone or Typhoon depending where the storm is located depicts which name is correct.
What is an area of lower pressure winds that spiral toward the center called?
air pressure!
Does a hurricane look like a large tornado?
No. From the ground a hurricane looks mostly like a very intense storm with extreme wind and torrential rain. Viewed from space a hurricane typically has a spiral shape to it, often with an eye in the center.
What does a hurricane look like from outer space?
It looks like a spiral disk, often with a hole in the center. See the links below for pictures
What is a tropical cyclone that blows in a large spiral around a relatively calm center eye?
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that blows in a large spiral around a relatively calm center eye.
What is a tropical cyclones that blow in a large spiral around a relativity calm center eye?
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that blows in a large spiral around a relatively calm center eye.
Tropical cyclones that blow in a large spiral around a relatively calm center eye?
Answer: Its a Hurricane
How is a hurricane shaped?
Hurricanes are formed by wind . And if the wind goes on for a long time , it slowly comes down and makes a funel shape . And that is a hurricane.

What are the rings of precipitation within a hurricane?
A hurricane is divided into three rings. In the center is the eye, which is calm and has little or no precipitation. Around the eye is the eyewall, which has high winds and heavy precipitation. Beyond the eyeball, are more spiral bands of rain.
What are the wind speeds in the eye of the hurricanes?
On the contrairy, the eye is the calmest part of the hurricane. Normally the strongest part of the hurricane is the eye wall that is around the eye. The eye is the center of the entier low pressure system and the winds spiral toward it.
What is an area of lower pressure winds that spiral toward the center called?
air pressure!
Area of higher pressure with winds that spiral outward?
When an area of low pressure is created with strong winds that spiral towards the center, a tropical cyclone is being formed. The spiral arrangement of thunderstorms produces heavy rain.
What is a spiral band?
The spiral bands of a hurricanes are relatively narrow areas of heavy rain that spiral into the eye wall of a hurricane. Rain between these bands is lighter.
What is the structure of a hurricane?
A hurricane is a large type of storm, called a tropicl cyclone, that forms in the tropics and has a closed circulation with winds of at least 74 mph. Hurricanes are low pressure systems that pull air inward and upward in a spiral. As you get closer these winds intensify until they reach the eyewall where they are the strongest and rain is heaviest. At this point it is spinning so fast it cannot reach all the way to the center, forming the eye. Air that is essentially the exhaust of the storm leaves the top of the storm, spiraling out in the opposite direction. Some of this air gets pulled back down into the eye, suppressing clouds formation in that part of the storm. Beyond the eye wall the heaviest rain in a hurricane is concentrated in rain bands that spiral out from the center. From space it can be seen that cle clouds take on a spiral shape as well.
