The formation of a hurricane involves the growth of a sustained low pressure system, which establishes an inflow of warm air from the surface. When the circulation establishes a cyclic flow (counterclockwise in the Northern hemisphere), a tropical storm can form. Stages in the increased strength of the storm include :
- Tropical wave (trough or low pressure system)
- Tropical disturbance (cohesive area of rain and winds)
- Tropical depression (circular motion is established, pressure drops)
- Tropical storm (sustained wind speeds reach 34 knots/39 mph/63 kph)
- Hurricane (sustained wind speed above 64 knots/74 mph/119 kph)

Why does a hurricane form and why is the sun important to the formation of a hurricane?
I do not know why dose the hurricane form but i know that the hurricane needs the sun.It needs it because the hurricane needs warm water.
How does the amount of wind affect hurricane formation-?
Wind shear is one of the most critical factors in controlling or even destroying hurricane formation, the more wind, the more powerful the hurricane. Conversely, if the wind is blowing in the opposite direction of the hurricane, it can slow it down or destroy it.

The impact (destructive capability) happens as soon as the hurricane forms however the hurricane may never make landfall and therfore never cause damage to human property.

How does water temperature in the Gulf of Mexico affect the development of a hurricane?
The warmer the water is the greater the potential for the formation or strengthening of a hurricane.
