If the wind speed is less than 75 mph it is not a hurricane at all and the most severe hurricanes are more than 150 mph

What type of relationship exists between time and windspeed?

The relationship between time and windspeed can vary. Windspeed can fluctuate over time due to changing weather patterns and atmospheric conditions. Generally, windspeed can increase or decrease over time in response to various factors such as temperature gradients, pressure systems, and the time of day.

Why do hurricanes rarely from in higher latitudes?

Hurricanes form in warm tropical waters and the conditions aren't right in higher northern latitudes because the temperature of the water is cold.


How do hurricanes effect the atmosphere?

Hurricanes help maintain thermodynamic balance in the atmosphere. Along with other phenomena hurricanes help bring heat out of the tropics and into the higher latitudes.

Why do hurricanes not form in higher altitudes?

Hurricanes do not form in higher altitudes primarily because they require warm ocean water to generate the heat and moisture necessary for their development. The atmosphere at higher altitudes is typically cooler and lacks the necessary humidity. Additionally, the Coriolis effect, which is crucial for the rotation of hurricanes, is less effective near the poles and at higher elevations. As a result, hurricanes are generally confined to low-lying tropical and subtropical regions.
