These violent storms occasionally start in the Atlantic and the Pacific in the tropics and subtropics and move with the Trade winds; usually the hurricane/typhoon (called differently in different places) moves eventually to higher latitudes. It ends within 5-14 days but can leave behind mass destruction.

Why are hurricanes and thunderstorms necessary?
They're not as much necessary as unavoidable, and basically they appear because of different energy levels in the atmosphere.
Some scientists blame what for an increase in the strength of hurricanes?
Many scientists are blaming the warming of the earth's oceans, a result of anthropogenic climate change, for the documented increase in the strength of hurricanes. The same cannot be said for the frequency of hurricanes, which does not appear to be increasing aside from temporary increases (and decreases) in natural, multi-decadal oscillations.
Why do hurricanes appear only during certain times of the year?
Because of certain areas climate and it determines if how hot it gets. So basically it only come in the summer.
Which world regions hurricanes?
Hurricanes are experienced more in the Pacific Ocean. The western Pacific experiences more hurricanes. The Atlantic and the Indian Ocean also experience hurricanes.
Do hurricanes occur in the Antarctic?
No, hurricanes are confined to the tropics. Hurricanes require a lot of energy from warm ocean water. It is far too cold in and around Antarctica to support hurricanes.
Where hurricanes appear?
Hurricanes appear near the ocean because a hurricane waves come from the water in the ocean. Hurricanes can create big winds and storms to other place that can be near by!!!!
Where do hurricanes usually appear?
Along the equator and oceans. It's this combination of moisture and heat that creates hurricanes.
Why do hurricanes appear?
three words: wind patterns.
Do hurricanes usually appear in the tropical zones?

Would a list of hurricanes be found in an almanac or encyclopedia?
A list of hurricanes is more likely to be found in an almanac that focuses on weather and natural disasters. Encyclopedias may include information on significant hurricanes, but a comprehensive list of hurricanes is more commonly found in specialized weather resources.
What do you do if a hurricane appears?
Hurricanes dont appear, it takes days or even weeks for a hurricane to form.
Where do hurricanes least appear?
Terrains without water like Missouri, and Tennessee. Hurricanes develop over open oceans. Therefore, they are least likely in areas that are relatively far from any seacoast.
Where in the US do earthquakes most commonly appear?
California
When approaching the Western Hemisphere hurricanes commonly move north on clockwise-curving paths due to the what?
Coriolis effect
Why are hurricanes and thunderstorms necessary?

Do hurricanes go really strong at the end?
Many hurricanes appear to intensify before the main landfall. After travelling farther into the mainland (near the end of its cycle) they weaken quickly. So technically, the storm would be weaker at the end.
