if a hurricane is above the equater it turns counter clock wise if it is below the eqauter it turns clock wise

Answer:

A hurricanes energy source is primarily the release of heat and water vapor from an ocean current. The hurricane essentially draws the warm water from the ocean surface which rises from the center of the storm and feedsback towards the outside walls. Although the mechanics involved are complex, at the most basic level, the currents themselves basically steers the hurricane. Storm computer models take into current direction and surface temperature when predicting a tropical storm or hurricanes course.
