Why do tropical storms develop in the regions they do?

There are three main factors that affect the formation of tropical storms. First, tropical storms can only form over warm ocean water as it is the moisture from these oceans that fuels them. So they are mainly limited tropical regions. Second, wind shear can essentially tear a storm apart, so tropical storms usually do not form often in places with strong wind shear. As an example, the southern Atlantic ocean experiences a lot of wind shear, making tropical storms there extremely rare. Third, tropical storms need a strong Coriolis Effect to form as this is what drives their rotation. As a result tropical storms cannot form on the equator, and rarely form very close to it.
