Do hurricanes form in the Atlantic?
Hi Most hurricanes form in the Atlantic but they can form in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean as well. Typhoons form in the Pacific Ocean. A good site to learn about hurricanes is at: http://www.hurricaneknowledge.com
Why do some countries suffer from hurricanes more than others?
Hurricanes most often form over warm water with an upper atmosphere consisting of moist high pressure and high winds. They are driven by their rotational forces and high altitude winds. Thus, they are most likely to form in the western Pacific Ocean, then the western Atlantic Ocean, and then the Indian Ocean, east of India. The South Atlantic for the most part is a cold ocean. Conditions are seldom right in that location for hurricanes to form.
Off the coast of which continent do most hurricanes that affect the us from?
Most, U.S.-affecting, hurricanes originate off the southwest coast of Africa.The precursors to Atlantic hurricanes often, but not always, form over Africa.
In what season do most hurricanes form and why?
Hurricanes form the most in late summer because that is when the oceans are warmest. There is a season for Hurricanes. They start at diffrent times of the year for the Atlantic and the Pacific, but stop on the same day.
Where do hurricanes most likely hit in the world?
The place were hurricanes have came the most are in the Pacific and Atlantic coast because that is were the magnetic swirl is.Near a coastal area, not inland.
Do hurricanes come from the Atlantic Ocean?
Well Hurricanes only form over warm waters 80 degrees or warmer, but yes the can start in the Atlantic more recent ones have started in the Atlantic. They also can't form over the equator cause they need the Coriolis Force to create the spin and it gets weak if its near the equator. The Atlantic hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30, but most hurricanes occur during the fall months.
Where does a hurricane most often occur?
If you asking what part of the world do they occur the most then the answer is western pacific (which they call them Typhoon). Now in the Atlantic, they come out of Africa and most of the time form into hurricanes. So I have to say in between Africa and the Lesser Antilles.
Where do hurricanes most occur?
Tropical places. New Orleans seems to take a big hit most of the time.
Where do most of the typhoons that hit the Philippines come from?
typhoons came from Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes came from Atlantic Ocean.And Tornadoes came from Indian Ocean.
In what seasons do hurricanes form?
Hurricanes typically form during the summer and fall when the ocean temperatures are the warmest. They are most frequent in August and September, though the official season in the Atlantic is from June 1 to November 30. A hurricane forms in tropical regions. They form where there is warm water moist air an wind.
When are hurricanes most frequent?
In the Atlantic, hurricanes are most frequent in August and September.
What countries can Hurricanes be formed in?
Hurricanes don't form in countries because they cannot develop over land. Most countries that border an ocean in or near the tropics, generally on the west side of the ocean, can get hurricanes.
