Hurricanes feed on solar heat given off by the ocean.
For example, when Hurricane Katrina moved over so verey warm waters called the Loop Current. Her winds picked up speed, reaching 175 MPH! I think that is the main factor that causes Hurricanes to Intensify.
Warm water causes hurricanes to increase intensity.
The increase in speed and power when they go over a heated water. For example the Gulf of Mexico has warm-hot waters which makes the hurricane stronger once it crosses it
The release of latent heat.
The sea and the atmosphere
When a hurricane makes landfall it weakens rapidly, with the winds at lower levels weakening faster than those at upper levels. This difference in wind speed creates wind shear, which can cause the thunderstorms in the rain bands of a hurricane to start rotating. This rotating can then tighten and intensify to form tornadoes.
A hurricane can intensify if it moves over warmer water, encounters moister air, moves into an environment of weaker wind shear, or if upper tropospheric temperatures drop.
Abiotic becuase everything that makes up a hurricane is abiotic.
A hurricane needs humidity to develop. Humidity is the amount of water in the air. A hurricane starts off as a series of thunderstorms which intensify as it moves over the warm humid sea. The humidity continues to grow over the sea. Any sort of decrease or increase in humidity can change the strength of a hurricane.

Hurricane Irene formed as a result of a tropical wave over the Atlantic Ocean encountering warm waters, moist air, and other favorable conditions that caused it to intensify and organize into Tropical Storm Irene. Continued favorable conditions strengthened this storm into a hurricane.
What makes a hurricane a disaster is the type of damage that it causes. There are so many fatalities and property is damaged.
Intensify is correct.
Intensify is a verb.
The song Hurricane is about love and hate.
Abiotic becuase everything that makes up a hurricane is abiotic.
a hurricane does not travel or move the energy inside it makes it move
The verb form of intensity is intensify. As in "to intensify something".
the sun had to intensify :) The student had to intensify his efforts in the class to raise his F to a passing grade.
Hurricane Sandy is different from other hurricanes in that she is undergoing what is called extratropical transition, meaning she is losing her tropical characteristics becoming an extratropical cyclone. While entering a cold environment usually weakens a hurricane, this transition and interaction with another storm system is actually allowing Sandy to maintain her strength and even intensify as well as causing her to grow to an enormous size.
