Hurricanes form in tropical waters between the latitudes of .?
Hurricanes in the Atlantic form between latitudes of 10 degrees North and the Tropic of Cancer.
Why don't hurricanes occur in the high latitudes?
Hurricanes require warm ocean water to form and maintain their strength. The water in the higher latitudes is too cold.
Why do hurricanes rarely from in higher latitudes?
Hurricanes form in warm tropical waters and the conditions aren't right in higher northern latitudes because the temperature of the water is cold.
Why are hurricanes not formed in the Northern Latitudes?
Hurricanes form from the rapid rise of warm/hot air which is converted to cyclonic flow by the Earth's rotation. This is nearly impossible in cold climates (i.e Northern latitudes) where there is no steady source of warm air.
How are hurricanes related to frontal systems?
They aren't. Hurricanes are tropical systems that develop where fronts do not have as much influence as in temperate climates. A hurricane that moves into temperate latitudes can change into a frontal low, but this is not an inherent characteristic of hurricanes.

Why do hurricanes rarely from in higher latitudes?
Hurricanes form in warm tropical waters and the conditions aren't right in higher northern latitudes because the temperature of the water is cold.
Why do hurricanes happen between tropical latitudes and not an higher latitude?
Hurricanes depend on very warm ocean water to sustain themselves. The waters of higher latitudes are not warm enough.
Why dont hurricanes generally develop at temperate latitudes?

How do hurricanes effect the atmosphere?
Hurricanes help maintain thermodynamic balance in the atmosphere. Along with other phenomena hurricanes help bring heat out of the tropics and into the higher latitudes.

Hurricanes form from the rapid rise of warm/hot air which is converted to cyclonic flow by the Earth's rotation. This is nearly impossible in cold climates (i.e Northern latitudes) where there is no steady source of warm air.
Why do tornadoes travel faster than hurricanes?
Hurricanes are tropical weather systems while significant tornadoes generally occur in the temperate latitudes. The wind currents that move storms in the tropics are generally weaker than those that move storms in the temperate latitudes.
How are hurricanes related to frontal systems?
They aren't. Hurricanes are tropical systems that develop where fronts do not have as much influence as in temperate climates. A hurricane that moves into temperate latitudes can change into a frontal low, but this is not an inherent characteristic of hurricanes.
What global winds affect hurricanes movement?
Mostly the Trade winds because hurricanes form and spend much of their life in the tropics. Some of them then move to the mid-latitudes, where they are affected by the Westerlies.
Hurricanes are in some ways like mid-latitude what?
Hurricanes are in some ways like mid-latitude cyclones or lows. Hurricanes rotate counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, while mid latitudes rotate clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
How is it that the East Pacific Ocean used to never have hurricanes?
This is not true. Hurricanes have always been abundant in the East Pacific, though at somewhat lower latitudes than the Atlantic due to the cold coastal currents.
