The three main features that make up a hurricane are the eye, the eye wall, and rain bands. Hurricanes are large swirling storms that form over warm ocean waters. Warm eater and moist warm air are factors in the start of hurricane.

∙ 9y agoThere are four elements that make up a hurricane. The first element is the eye which is the center of circulation. The second element is eye wall where intense thunderstorms are located. The third element is the central dense overcast which is made up of dense clouds, and the fourth element of the hurricane is the outflow which is the outer hinge.

∙ 10y agoWind and rain are major components, but neither are the most destructive. Storm surge is. That is when the winds and low pressure raise the ocean level. The higest storm surge on record was over 40 feet high.
By defintion, a hurricane is an intense tropical cyclone. In order to be a tropical cyclone, a storm system must have organized convection, and a closed circulation around an identifiable center.

∙ 7y agoNo. Hurricanes and tornadoes are very different things. Both are made primarily of air. A hurricane is its own self-sustaining storm system and is typically several hundred miles across. A tornado, by contrast, is a small-scale vortex that is dependent on a parent thunderstorm which is in turn part of a larger system. Tornadoes are usually no more than a few hundred yards wide but are generally more violent than hurricanes.

Describe the process of weathering?
weathering is caused by wind hurricanes or even hand made .
Anatomy of hurricanes?
All hurricanes are formed in tropical waters, and many start in the Atlantic Ocean. These storms can only form in warm waters when the sea, wind and air pressure conditions are just right. Once they are active, hurricanes can be moved around by powerful gusts of wind known as steering winds. The winds help build the hurricanes up and give them more power, and when they are large enough they can cause massive rain fall, large waves that break well beyond the shoreline known as storm surges and a spiraling cyclone of wind and water that can be destructive and deadly.
How does rain move in different directions?
The movement of the rain is caused by movement of the air. Cold air and warm air moving around cause the wind to blow. The rain goes in the direction of the wind.
How does weather move?
Weather travels because the wind pushes it slowly to other states, like hurricanes travel very quickly because they spin so fast but rain moves slower because rain clouds are heavy and full so it takes a while for the wind to push it that far!!!
Do airplanes fly over hurricanes?
Some airplanes fly through hurricanes to get wind speeds etc.
What are some signs for hurricanes?
rain and wind are some signs for hurricanes
How do hurricanes change the weather?
Hurricanes are storms that bring very powerful wind, torrential rain, and large waves.
What is the similarities between wind hurricanes and breeze?
well obviously, wind hurricanes is a very strong wind, and a breeze is just a very light wind.
Are hurricanes erosion?
No they are very powerful storms, with wind, rain, lightning, thunder, hail
What are the fierce destructive wind and rain storms called the develop over the Atlantic Ocean?
hurricanes
What three things that cause both an erosion and deposition?
Rain, wind, weather(tornadoes, hurricanes, glacier activity).
When the rain falls which way will it fall if there is no wind?
If there is no wind, the rain will just fall straight down.
What happens to the weather when there's a hurricane?
Hurricanes involve a lot of wind and rain, so the weather would get windier and rainier.
Is wind associated with hurricanes?
Yes. Hurricanes produce very strong wind.
Is wind is associated with hurricanes?
Yes. Hurricanes produce very strong wind.
What was the weather like on explorers expeditions?
Weather is weather. Explorers had storms, no wind in their sails, rain, hurricanes, snow, hail, heat, sun, rain. You name it they experienced it.
