There are six widely accepted conditions for hurricane development. The first condition is that ocean waters must be above 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit). The second ingredient is distance from the equator. Without the spin of the earth and the resulting Corioles force, hurricanes would not form. Since the Corioles force is at a maximum at the poles and a minimum at the equator, hurricanes can not form within 5 degrees latitude of the equator. The thirdingredient is that of a saturated lapse rate gradient near the center of rotation of the storm. A saturated lapse rate insures latent heat will be released at a maximum rate. Hurricanes are warm core storms. The heat hurricanes generate is from the condensation of water vapor as it convectively rises around the eye wall. The lapse rate must be unstable around the eyewall to insure rising parcels of air will continue to rise and condense water vapor. The fourth and one of the most important ingredients is that of a low vertical wind shear, especially in the upper level of the atmosphere. Wind shear is a change in wind speed with height. Strong upper level winds destroy the storms structure by displacing the warm temperatures above the eye and limiting the vertical accent of air parcels. The fifth ingredient is high relative humidity values from the surface to the mid levels of the atmosphere. Dry air in the mid levels of the atmosphere impedes hurricane development in two ways. The sixthingredient is that of a tropical wave. Often hurricanes in the Atlantic begin as a thunderstorm complex that moves off the coast of Africa. It becomes what is known as a mid-tropospheric wave. If this wave encounters favorable conditions such as stated in the first five ingredients, it will amplify and evolve into a tropical storm or hurricane.
What else can I help you with?
Would you expect hurricanes to form over the oceans off the northeast or northwest coasts of the US Explain.?
Hurricanes are more likely to form over the oceans off the southeast coast of the US rather than the northeast or northwest coasts. This is because the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, especially in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, provide the necessary heat and moisture for hurricane formation. The cooler waters off the northeast and northwest coasts are less conducive to hurricane development.
In what season do most hurricanes form and why?
Hurricanes form the most in late summer because that is when the oceans are warmest. There is a season for Hurricanes. They start at diffrent times of the year for the Atlantic and the Pacific, but stop on the same day.
Where are hurricanes most likely to occur?
Hurricanes are most likely to happen over tropical ocean waters. They are Atlantic storms and generally form in warm waters north of the equator. Many form near the Cape Verde Islands of the west coast of Africa, but can form in any warm water with the correct atmospheric conditions. Once formed, they can travel thousands of miles
What continents get hurricanes?
the continent of Michael land gets the most hurricanes and erikaopolis get the least Most U.S. - affecting hurricanes originate off the southwest coast of Africa. "Michael Land" is another name for South Africa.
What A hurricane is most likely to form?
august
When a hurricane is most likely to form?
Hurricanes usually occur in early fall and late summer over tropical oceans.
Where are hurricanes most likely going to strike hot places or cold places?
Hurricanes are most likely to strike hot places because they form over warm ocean waters where there is sufficient heat and moisture to fuel their development. Cold places typically do not experience hurricanes because the water temperatures are not warm enough to support their formation and intensification.
Would you expect hurricanes to form over the oceans off the northeast or northwest coasts of the US Explain.?
Hurricanes are more likely to form over the oceans off the southeast coast of the US rather than the northeast or northwest coasts. This is because the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, especially in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, provide the necessary heat and moisture for hurricane formation. The cooler waters off the northeast and northwest coasts are less conducive to hurricane development.
Is severe weather most likely to form on land or in the oceans?
in the ocean
What time of the year are tornadoes and hurricanes most likely to form?
Hurricanes are most common in summer and early fall. Tornadoes are most common in spring and early summer.
When do hurrianes form?
Hurricanes form in the summer time. If you look at the related link, you will find that hurricanes require warm water to form. In Florida, our hurricane season (time when hurricanes are most likely to form) is from June 1 to Dec 1, 2009.
Where do hurricanes most likely hit in the world?
Hurricanes most likely hit regions in the Atlantic Ocean, such as the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and the southeastern coast of the United States. Additionally, they can occur in the Pacific Ocean, affecting countries like the Philippines, Japan, and Mexico.
Which season of the year are hurricanes most likely to happen in the US?
Hurricanes are most likely to strike the U.S. in the summer and early fall.
What part of Mississippi will most likely be hit by a hurrricane?
The southern part of Mississippi is most likely to be hit as it borders the Gulf of Mexico, and hurricanes form over the ocean.
Where does hurricanes most likely occur in?
The form in the ocean where the water is at least 80 degrees in wind shear is minimal.
When and where are hurricanes most likely to happend?
Anywhere
Do tornadoes normally form in tropical oceans?
No, tornadoes typically form over land in association with thunderstorms. Waterspouts, which are tornadoes that form over water, can occur in tropical oceans under specific conditions, but they are generally much weaker than tornadoes that form over land.
