A hurricane is an area of low pressure, created by rising air in the thunderstorms thatake up the hurricane. This low pressure is what draws air inward.

What causes the winds to rush toward hurricane areas?

Winds rush towards hurricane areas due to the pressure difference between the high-pressure system surrounding the hurricane and the lower pressure within the storm. Air moves from high pressure to low pressure, creating strong winds that spiral towards the center of the hurricane.


Do warmers seas make stronger hurricanes?

Yes, they do. And equally important, they make more. A hurricane can't form unless the sea below them is above 27 degrees celsius. It is the heat that causes air to rise, thereby causing other air to rush in the fill the space left by the rising air, which causes hurricanes and determines their strength.


What energizes hurricanes?

Hurricanes are fueled by warm, moist air above the ocean's surface, which provides the energy needed for the storm to grow and intensify. This warm air rises, creating an area of low pressure at the surface, which in turn causes more air to rush in and rise, creating a cycle that strengthens the storm.


What causes the strong winds in a tornado?

Change in air pressure causes the strong winds. In fact, most winds that we experience on Earth are caused by change in air pressure. Usually significant changes in air pressure occur over a large area and therefore it's only a slow change in pressure over distance making light winds. In a tornado, you get a significant drop in air pressure over just a few feet of land. This causes the winds to get excessivly high.


How is that a cyclone has a low pressure centre with high speed winds revolving around it?

The low pressure (usually extremely low) causes aur surrounding the storm to rush in to try and equalise this low pressure. As the pressure gradient is very large, the winds are very strong. The winds rotate in a clockwise direction due to them being deflected by the coriolis effect.


How does energy transfer in a hurricane to fuel its powerful winds and destructive force?

In a hurricane, energy transfer occurs through the warm ocean water evaporating and rising, creating low pressure at the surface. This causes air to rush in and spiral upwards, releasing heat and moisture, which fuels the storm's powerful winds and destructive force.
