Does a hurricane rain ocean water or regular water?
A hurricane typically produces heavy rain using regular water from the atmosphere, not ocean water. The intense winds of a hurricane can pick up moisture from the ocean surface and carry it over land, where it falls as precipitation.
Why does a hurricane weaken when it touches ocean waters?
It doesn't. A hurricane gains strength from warm ocean water. Warm water produces large amounts of water vapor, which is essentially the fuel of a hurricane. Cold water and land do not provide as much water vapor, so a hurricane will weaken if it encounters either of those.
What would happen to the strength of a hurricane if it moved over land or over a cold-water ocean?
The strength of the hurricane would decrease, as hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water.
What is a storm that gets their energy from warm ocean water?
hurricane
Does a hurricane start on water?
Yes. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
Where do hurricanes get their moisture?
The moisture that fuels a hurricane is water vapor that comes from warm ocean water.
What develops over warm ocean water a hurricane or a tornado?
A hurricane. Tornadoes are more often a land-based phenomenon.
Why does a hurricane have to begin at sea?
A hurricane requires an enormous supply of water vapor to develop. Such large amounts can only be found over warm ocean water.
Which type of storm causes the most flooding in areas located near an ocean coastline and why?
A Hurricane, because a Hurricane starts on water then off of the water into the land.
How does a hurricane generate its power?
I think it is by picking up water in the ocean and winds
Will making ocean water from hot to cold prevent a hurricane?
A hurricane will not form over cold ocean water, that is why hurricanes rarely form in the winter; the ocean is usually too cold. However, you cannot simply cool ocean water like that. The amount of energy stored in the water making it warm is enormous, to great for us to ever hope to manipulate.
A hurricane becomes more powerful by evaporating water from?
A hurricane becomes more powerful by evaporating water from the ocean's surface. This process releases latent heat as the water vapor condenses back into liquid, which fuels the storm's energy and intensifies its winds. The warmer the ocean water, the more evaporation occurs, further strengthening the hurricane. This cycle of evaporation and condensation is crucial for the hurricane's growth and sustainability.
