Hurricanes significantly impact the environment by causing widespread destruction to ecosystems, including coastal habitats such as mangroves, wetlands, and coral reefs. The intense winds and flooding can lead to soil erosion, loss of vegetation, and disruption of wildlife habitats. Additionally, storm surges can contaminate freshwater sources with saltwater and pollutants, while the debris from damaged infrastructure can further harm marine and terrestrial environments. Overall, hurricanes can lead to long-term ecological changes and challenges for recovery in affected areas.

Hurricanes cannot form at the equator because the Coriolis effect, which is needed for their formation, is too weak in that region. The Coriolis effect is a force caused by the Earth's rotation that helps hurricanes spin and develop.
What is it called when there is a group of hurricanes?
A group, or 2 or more, hurricanes has no official name. It just pertains to the chaos theory and the fujiwara effect. But when hurricanes do get close enough to each other, they will circle each other until an outside force pulls them apart. This is called the Fujiwara effect.
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.
Why do hurricanes not cross the equator?
Hurricanes do not cross the equator because of the Coriolis effect, which causes storms to rotate in a specific direction based on their location in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. This effect prevents hurricanes from crossing the equator and moving from one hemisphere to the other.

No
