Hurricanes actually form over water. Their energy comes from moisture that evaporates off warm ocean water. In fact they cannot form or last very long over land.

Do tornadoes have stronger winds than hurricanes?
In most cases the wind speeds fall into the same range. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to produce winds in excess of 150 mph, which are rarely attained by hurricanes. The most violent tornadoes do produce stronger winds than even the most intense hurricanes.
How do hurricanes travel across Africa and moves toward the US and where does it get its strength to travel so far?
Hurricanes get their energy from warm water. Being in the tropics, they get stronger and stronger as more winds and warm waters help them move across the ocean.
What do hurricanes need to become stronger?
The ocean its temp
Are hurricanes really getting more dangerous?
Yes because the winds are getting stronger and faster.
Do tornadoes have more wind than hurricanes?
In most cases tornado and hurricane winds actually fall into the same range. However, violent tornadoes have stronger winds than even the strongest hurricanes can produce.
Are tornado winds stronger than a hurricanes wind?
In most cases hurricane winds and tornado wind actually fall into the same range, though tornadoes can achieve much stronger winds. Both hurricanes and tornadoes produce wind as a result of low pressure at the center of the storm. Tornadoes. produce a similar pressure drop to hurricanes, but over a shorter distance, which exerts a greater force.
Cyclonic low pressure storms of high winds that develop over water are called?
hurricanes
How are hurricanes related to waves?
The winds from a hurricane blowing across the water's surface creates waves. The stronger the wind, the bigger the waves. Put some water in a bowl and blow across the surface. You made waves.
Do hurricanes tornadoes or cyclones produce the strongest winds?
There is some overlap, especially considering that a hurricane is a kind of cyclone. However, in the most extreme cases, the most violent tornadoes produce far stronger winds than the strongest hurricanes.
Where are hurricanes from?
Hurricanes are formed from water but there is something else that forms hurricanes and its once water comes and its makes a world pool and then winds pushes either way and it floods the city or town
During a hurricanes water usually causes more destruction than high winds do?
High winds do cause more damage
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!!!!
