Wind speed above 74 miles per hour tropical depression tropical disturbance tropical storm?

If a tropical system has sustained winds greater than 74 miles per hour then it is a full-fledged hurricane.


How does a thunderstorm turn into a tornado or a hurricane?

A thunderstorm does not become either. Thunderstorms produce tornadoes. Clusters of thunderstorms can become hurricanes. In short, if a strong thunderstorm encounters wind shear in the right configuration, meaning wind changes speed and direction with altitude, it can star to rotate. The rotation is focused in an area a few miles wide called a mesocyclone. Sometimes a downdraft at the back of the storm will then wrap around the mesocyclone, causing it to tighten and intensify to forma tornado. A hurricane most often starts out as an area of low pressure and disorganized showers and storms called a tropical disturbance. If the disturbance moves out over warm ocean water, where the is plentiful warm, moist air then more storms will form within it. The updrafts of the storms cause the pressure in the disturbance to drop, which increases the wind speed and draws in more air to feed the storms. As the wind speed increases the Coriolis effect, a consequence of Earth's rotation, will cause the system to start rotating. When the system develops a definite rotation then it is classified as a tropical depression. When sustained winds reach 39 miles per hour it is a tropical storm. When winds reach 74 mph the storm is classified as a hurricane.

What is necessary for a tropical disturbance to grow into a hurricane?

A tropical disturbance has to go through 3 stages before becoming a hurricane. 1. Tropical Disturbance. This is formed from individual thunder storms coming together 2. Tropical Depression. This is caused when a Tropical Disturbance goes above 21 m.p.h. 3. Tropical Storm. This is caused when a Tropical Depression goes above 34 m.p.h. 4. Hurricane. This forms when winds become 74 m.p.h. or above. Hurricanes can go up to 206 m.p.h.
