Does cool water fuel a hurricane?
No. Hurricanes get their power from warm water. Remember: heat is energy.
Why are hurricanes described as a heat engine?
because it picked up high temperature waters in ocean
A force that slows hurricanes down on land?
there is none but there is less water vapor so they run out of fuel
Why do hurricanes form over oceans and why do they die out over land?
Hurricanes form over oceans because they are fueled by the moisture that evaporates from the warm water. They die over land because they are cut off from the fuel source.
Does Italy have hurricanes?
Italy does not have hurricanes. Hurricanes form over tropical waters.
Why do hurricanes happen in warmer water?
The essential "fuel" for hurricanes is moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. Colder water does not provide enough evaporation.
Why are hurricanes coming?
It is hurricane season and the oceans are warm. That warm water helps fuel the storms.

What keeps hurricanes going and why doesnt it get tired?
Hurricanes get their energy from moist air. They originate in over oceans as the water evaporates. Hurricanes eventually die out when they travel over land or cooler waters, where their water vapor source is cut off to fuel the storm.

Italy does not have hurricanes. Hurricanes form over tropical waters.
Why the hurricanes only form in seas and don't form in rivers?
Hurricanes require a very large, deep mass of warm water to provide the moisture they need for "fuel." The only thing large enough and deep enough to serve that purpose is the ocean. Rivers are too shallow and far too small to power hurricanes.
Why do hurricanes occur mainly along the equator?
They don't. They do mainly occur in the tropics though, as they are fuel by the moisture that evaporates from tropical ocean water.
What can hurricanes have?
hurricanes can have tornadoes.
What natural disaster is the most common in Florida?
Hurricanes, hurricanes, and more hurricanes!
