Hurricanes typically form over warm ocean waters in tropical regions and move westward due to prevailing trade winds. As they develop, they can be influenced by the Coriolis effect, which causes them to curve northward. Once they reach the U.S. coastline, they can follow various paths, often influenced by high-pressure systems and other atmospheric conditions. The combination of these factors determines their trajectory and intensity as they approach land.
What else can I help you with?
Can hurricanes cause an earthquake?
No, earthquakes are triggered when a tectonic plate shifts. An earthquake takes place in the ground. Hurricanes, on the other hand, take place in the sky. It will take an enormous hurricane to move an area by one centimeter. But, they can never cause earthquakes.
Are hurricanes destructive or constructive?
hurricanes can be both constructive or destructive.
Why do we name hurricanes?
We usually name hurricanes, so that if there are multiple hurricanes occurring simultaneously, it won't be confusing and it might protect people.
Could hurricanes happen in Utah?
No. Hurricanes can only happen in coastal areas with warmer climates.
How many hurricanes does Saturn have?
zero
Why does hurricanes happen in Southeastern US?
Hurricanes commonly occur in the Southeastern US due to warm ocean waters providing the necessary energy for their formation and intensification. The region's geography and prevailing winds also create favorable conditions for hurricanes to develop and move into the area.
What weakens over land hurricanes or tornadoes?
Hurricanes weaken when they move over land.
How many Hurricanes hit the Us in 2009?

Off the coast of which continent do most hurricanes that affect the us from?
Most hurricanes that affect the US originate off the coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. They typically develop as tropical storms, gaining strength as they move across the warm waters of the Atlantic before possibly hitting the US mainland.
How large and fast is are hurricanes?
they spin and move fast
Are hurricanes dangerous for dolphins?
Hurricanes are not dangerous to dolphins because they swim away like us humans, we escape from 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.
Do hurricanes move forward at 10-15 mph?
Such forward speeds are fairly common among hurricanes, but they may move faster or slower depending on the surrounding weather patterns.
Does Italy have hurricanes?
Italy does not have hurricanes. Hurricanes form over tropical waters.
How does the Gulf Stream impact hurricane development off the coast of the US?
Hurricanes gain energy from warm ocean water. The Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current, allows hurricanes to develop and maintain their intensity as the move off the souhteastern coast.
What hurricanes are close to hitting the US?
As of November 4, 2012 there are no hurricanes currently threatening the U.S.
