Hurricanes don't necessarily need the water to be a certain depth as long as the water in a shallow area is warm all the way to the bottom. What you're probably referring to is the necessity that, when in deeper waters, there is a significant (150 feet is a common estimate) layer of warm (80F+) water at the surface. The reason for this is that as a hurricane passes over the water, it will generate waves intense enough to mix a shallow layer of warm water with cooler waters beneath it. In this way, the hurricane will rob itself of the warm water it needs.
What else can I help you with?
When hot water and cold water meet does a hurricane form?
No, a hurricane forms over warm ocean waters when conditions are favorable for its development, such as light winds and high humidity. The interaction between hot and cold water alone does not directly lead to the formation of a hurricane.
What is the number one thing a hurricane needs to from?
A hurricane needs warm ocean water to form. Warm water provides the energy needed for the storm to intensify and develop.
Does a hurricane originate over water or land?
Hurricanes originate over warm ocean waters, where the combination of warm air and water evaporation creates the conditions necessary for a hurricane to form. Once formed, hurricanes can move over both water and land.
How warm does the water have to be for a hurricane?
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters typically around 80°F (27°C) or higher. The warm water provides the energy that fuels the storm by evaporating and condensing to create strong updrafts. Cooler water temperatures can weaken or dissipate a hurricane.
Clouds form in a hurricane because the air is?
moist and warm, causing water vapor to condense and form clouds. The intense upward motion of air within a hurricane also helps in the rapid formation of clouds.
What happens when the North Atlantic deep water meets the Antarctic bottom water?
a hurricane would form
What happens when the Atlantic Deep Water meets the Antarctic Bottom Water?
When the North Atlantic ocean meets the Antarctic bottom water Hurricanes form(:
What type of water will a hurricane form in?
warm
Can hurricanes form in space?
No; a hurricane consists of air and water.
Can a hurricane come from the Great Lakes or can only tornadoes form there?
No. A hurricane cannot form on the Great Lakes. Unlike tornadoes, which can occur almost anywhere, hurricane requires large amounts of warm water to form. In other words, they can only form over ocean water in or near the tropics. The Great Lakes are too cold and too small to support a hurricane.
Can a hurricane form on mountions?
No. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water.
Does a hurricane start on water?
Yes. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
Where can hurricanes never form?
A hurricane can never form over land or over cold water.
When hot water and cold water meet does a hurricane form?
No, a hurricane forms over warm ocean waters when conditions are favorable for its development, such as light winds and high humidity. The interaction between hot and cold water alone does not directly lead to the formation of a hurricane.
What is the number one thing a hurricane needs to from?
A hurricane needs warm ocean water to form. Warm water provides the energy needed for the storm to intensify and develop.
Why does a hurricane form and why is the sun important to the formation of a hurricane?
A hurricane forms when warm ocean water evaporates and rises, creating a low-pressure system that draws in more warm air. The sun is important in this process as it heats the ocean water, providing the energy needed for evaporation and driving the convective processes that help to fuel the storm.
What is the reason for hurricane?
the reason for a hurricane is because water gets into a wave really deep and it comes onto shore and it destroys houses really bad.
