Hurricanes form in circular shapes primarily due to the Coriolis effect, which causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection leads to the development of a rotating system of winds around a low-pressure center. Additionally, the warm, moist air rising at the center creates a vacuum that draws in surrounding air, reinforcing the circular motion as the system organizes and intensifies. The combination of these factors results in the characteristic spiral shape of hurricanes.
