hurricanes form ove r really warm ocen water of 80 degrees or warmer. the atmosphere must cool off very quickly the higher you go. also the wind must be blowing the same direction and the same speed to force air upward from the ocean to the surface.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tropical cyclones (hurricanes) all form the same way. Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface. Another way to say the same thing is that the warm air rises, causing an area of lower air pressure below. Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes in to the low pressure area. Then that "new" air becomes warm and moist and rises, too. As the warm air continues to rise, the surrounding air swirls in to take its place. As the warmed, moist air rises and cools off, the water in the air forms clouds. The whole system of clouds and wind spins and grows, fed by the ocean's heat and water evaporating from the surface.

What hurricane produced the most tornadoes?
Hurricane Ivan produced the most confirmed tornado of any hurricane, setting the record at 117.
Most tornadoes spawned from a hurricane?
Most tornadoes are not spawned directly from hurricanes themselves, but rather from the thunderstorms that form within the hurricane's outer bands. These tornadoes can occur in the vicinity of a hurricane, especially in the right-front quadrant of the storm. The interaction between the hurricane's large-scale circulation and local weather conditions can sometimes lead to tornado development.
Do tornadoes and hurricanes occur together?
Tornadoes can occur in hurricanes, but they are not required for a hurricane to form. Tornadoes in hurricanes tend to be weaker and more short-lived compared to those in severe thunderstorms. The conditions within a hurricane can sometimes spawn tornadoes, particularly in the outer rain bands.
Did Hurricane Ike cause any tornadoes?
Yes, Hurricane Ike did produce multiple tornadoes when it made landfall in 2008. Tornadoes can often form in the outer rain bands of a hurricane, causing additional damage and posing a threat to areas impacted by the storm.
