Tropical Storm Sandy became a hurricane in the same way as any other. The storm drew in moist air that was present due to warm ocean water. This moist air provided energy that strengthened the convection within the storm, causing the pressure to drop and pull air in with even grater force, which increased wind speeds. When those speeds reached 74 mph Sandy became a hurricane.
