Where do most hurricanes occur in the us and why?
Hurricanes generally strike the U.S. on the Gulf Coast and the southern Atlantic coast. This is because hurricanes are a tropical phenomenon that can only develop over warm ocean water. This warm water provides the moisture that fuels hurricanes. Cold water or land cannot provide enough moisture. The waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Stream are generally warm enough to support hurricanes but further north they are too cold. Few hurricanes that stray that far north maintain hurricane strength. The waters off the west coast of the U.S. are similarly too cold for hurricanes.
