First of all, a hurricane is a very powerful storm with two main parts, the eye and the clouds around it. It can be several hundred miles wide. The eye is the calm area in the middle of the hurricane, and the wall of clouds is the place where you get the wind and rain at it's strongest and heaviest.
Once in a while, a tropical thunderstorm grows and grows, becoming a giant hurricane.
First, the storm grows a little bit. It then combines with other thunderstorms, and they all spin around an area of low pressure. This is called a tropical depression. Next, the storm grows some more. Its' winds become stronger and it becomes a tropical storm. Then, the storm grows even more, its' winds become even faster, and it becomes a hurricane.
Hurricanes develop over oceans that are warm and tropical. The water vapor above the warm water's surface keeps the hurricane from weakening, making it grow and giving it energy. When a hurricane moves into areas with cooler ocean water, it weakens. It will also weaken if it travels over land. The heat, humidity, and certain wind conditions can make a hurricane.
Hurricanes move in the same direction as the currents of the wind around them. The air of the hurricane spirals down toward the area of low pressure. It spins instead of moving in a straight line because Earth doesn't spin at the same speed everywhere; it spins quicker near the equator, and more slowly near the North and South Poles.
