No. The moon's gravity only affects the ocean tides. Interesting question though.

Why aren't tornadoes and hurricanes on the moon?

Tornadoes and hurricanes are not found on the moon because the moon does not have the necessary atmosphere or weather patterns to support the formation of these weather events. Tornadoes require a combination of atmospheric instability, moisture, and wind shear, which are not present on the moon. Additionally, hurricanes typically form over warm ocean waters, which the moon lacks.


Does a full moon effect the oceans tide no why then does the news keep saying sandy hit the east coast as a cat 1 at high tide and a full moon?

The New Moon and Full Moon stages cause high tides. This has nothing to do with hurricanes. Hurricanes are caused by thunderstorms in Africa, which are drifted out over warm ocean waters to eventually reaching us as a hurricane. Hurricanes are not water tides. Comment: But hurricanes can obviously cause surges of water along coasts. High tides would make this worse. (I don't think it's got too much to do with Africa either.) Counter Comment: "Most Atlantic hurricanes start to take shape when thunderstorms along the west coast of Africa drift out over warm ocean waters(...)" and right, high tides does add on to the effect of flooding, but doesn't make the hurricane itself any stronger.

Why can't hurricanes form at the equator?

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.
