That's precisely how hurricanes form. Warm moist air is drawn into a low-pressure system creating updrafts. The updrafts release latent heat energy which warms the air around it fueling the system even more. If there is no mechanism to create the lifting air, you can't have a low pressure system. And if there is no way to remove the wasted energy (outflow) the storm will suffocate upon itself.

∙ 13y agoA hurricane usually forms when the ocean surface is warm (Somewhere near 80F or 30C). There must be large thunderstorm activity. There is high pressure aloft (Or at least higher pressure that usual for the atmosphere at 25,000 feet or 8 kilometers). There is moisture aloft and almost no wind. The storm must be far enough north or south for the earth's spin to impart coriolis force spin to the storm. Then a hurricane can form.

What happen when warm moist air rises?
When warm moist air rises it cools and condenses.
When cold air moves in and warm moist air meet what happens?
A cold front forms. The warm, moist air, which is less dense, gets forced upwards. As it rises it cools and the moisture in it condenses. This results in rain and possibly thunderstorms.
As moist air rises its temperature will what?
The air temperature rises when particles in the air begin to move faster. The energy of the motion of particles is called thermal energy.
Clouds form as moist air rises and?
cools and condenses
Do clouds form when air sinks?
Clouds form when warm moist air rises, cools and condenses.
What happen when warm moist air rises?
When warm moist air rises it cools and condenses.
Why is heavy rain associated with tropical cyclones?
When a cyclone forms, warm, moist air over the ocean rises up from the ocean surface. As this warm, moist air rises, it cools off, and the water in the air forms clouds. The cycle keeps going because air rushes in to fill the void left as the warm moist air rises. This new air also becomes warm and moist and so it rises, too. Again, the cycle continues. Warm air rises, the surrounding air swirls in to take its place, and so on. The whole system of clouds and wind spins and grows, because it is being constantly fed by the ocean's heat and water evaporating from the surface. This causes massive rain clouds to develop.
Why condensations occurs when moist air rises?
Condensation may occur when moist air rises because of the different arrangement of water molecules.
Why does condensation occur when moist air rises?
Condensation may occur when moist air rises because of the different arrangement of water molecules.

Which will rise up faster dry air or moist air?
dry air rises up faster because the dry air has less density n therefore it rises up faster than moist air
Clouds form as moist air rises and?
cools and condenses
When warm moist air rises to form thunderstorms what do you call that?
Evaporation.
What forms when air rises?
Clouds form.
Do clouds form when air sinks?
Clouds form when warm moist air rises, cools and condenses.
What happens right after warm air expands and rises?
Cool, moist, heavy air replaces rising hot air
