What would happen to the strength of a hurricane if it moved over land or over a cold-water ocean?
The strength of the hurricane would decrease, as hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water.
Is hurricane Katrina a typhoon or a cyclone?
A hurricane is a type of cyclone, so that's what Katrina would have been. A typhoon is the same thing as a hurricane, only occurring in the western Pacific Ocean.
What separates a hurricane from other storms?
A Typhoon is what a Hurricane in the Pacific becomes once it crosses the 180 degree line. If it would go into the Indian Ocean, it would become a Cyclone. The same storm in Australia is called a Willy Willy. A hurricane is wide and if powerful then circular and will have an eye of calm air in the center. Other storms have other features of a hurricane except for the eye.
Where was the most intense Hurricane located?
All weather events including hurricanes have been a natural part of our atmospheric processes since the planet formed. We can not say therefore where the first ever hurricane was located and if we could the answer would be meaningless as plate tectonics, continental drift and geological process would have moved or indeed destroyed the location over geological time.
Can a hurricane make landfall in Mexico City?
No. To make landfall means to move from the sea onto land. Mexico city is nowhere near the cost. Additionally, the mountainous terrain that comes between the city and the ocean means that any hurricane that hits Mexico would rapidly weaken before reaching the city, and would no longer be a hurricane by the time it got there.

Why do they call the hurricane isabel?
They call the hurricane Isabel to keep track of all hurricanes that have occurred in the follow years. When a hurricane is formed and is not a tropical storm, it is usually given a name of a boy then the next hurricane would be named a girls name. The list is in alphabetical order so after "I", a male name that start with a "J" for example Jason would be the name of the next hurricane and it would go on in this pattern
Is a hurricane more likely on a tropical coast or in a polar region far from the ocean?
A hurricane is more likely to impact a tropical coastal area. It would be impossible for one to strike in a polar region. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
