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 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.

east to west and west to east.
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.
Which degrees mark the northern latitudes?

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 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.
Which degrees mark the northern latitudes?
Northern latitudes are the latitudes between zero and 90° North ... that is, everything between the equator and the north pole, the region referred to as the "northern Hemisphere".
