Hurricanes form when there is a layer of cold air above a layer of warm air. The warm air wants to go up the cold air wants to go down.
When there is a finger of hot air rising a complimentary finger of cold air will descend - this is what a hurricane is. When ever you have something falling from a great height you have a drastic release of energy. This is the energy of the hurricane. In the broadest sense the energy comes from the sun that heated the low lying air that favoured the warm/cold transfer, this is the energy that raises the warm air to a higher elevation. It is the energy released when the cold air falls that the hurricane is mostly known for.

Why are hurricanes not formed in Canada?
Hurricanes form over warm oceans, (that's how they get their energy) and there aren't any near Canada.
Where do hurricanes not form?
Hurricanes do not form near the equator because the Coriolis effect is weak at the equator, which is necessary for the rotation that drives the formation of hurricanes. Additionally, they do not form over cold ocean waters, as the warm water provides the energy needed for the storms to develop.
Can hurricanes form overland?
No, hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water.
Hurricanes must form over what?
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters, typically above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This warmth provides the energy needed for the storm to develop and strengthen. Additionally, hurricanes require a particular environment with factors such as high humidity, low wind shear, and the Coriolis effect to form and intensify.
Is it true that a hurricanes get their heat and energy from seawater?
Yes, hurricanes get their heat and energy from warm seawater. When warm ocean water evaporates and rises, it releases heat into the atmosphere, providing the fuel needed for hurricanes to form and intensify.
Why do hurricanes form over water and lose energy over land?
Hurricanes use the warm moist ocean air as an energy source so as soon as it hits land the moist air is no longer there. Although hurricanes lose energy over land, they still do devastating amounts of damage.
Why do hurricnes form over land?
Hurricanes do not form over land; they require warm ocean waters as a primary energy source. Once a hurricane moves over land, it typically weakens due to the loss of this energy source and the increased friction from land.
Do underwater currents steer hurricanes?
Underwater currents do not directly steer hurricanes. However, warm ocean currents can provide the energy and moisture needed for hurricanes to form and strengthen. The interaction between hurricanes and ocean currents can influence the storm's intensity and movement.
Where do airizona hurricanes form?
Arizona does not get hurricanes.
Do the inland states have hurricanes?
No, inland states typically do not experience hurricanes since they are not near the coast where hurricanes form and make landfall. Inland states may experience remnants of hurricanes in the form of heavy rain and strong winds after the hurricane has weakened and moved inland.
What seasons do hurricanes form?
June-November, depending on what area the hurricanes form in
How do hurricanes form on islands?
Hurricanes form over the open ocean not on islands.
