low pressure
Hurricanes form over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land.
low pressure systems
The Caribbean is a tropical sea with warm waters. Hurricane are topical systems that form and maintain themselves over warm water, making the Caribbean a prime location for hurricanes.
Yes, that is where hurricanes usually form.
Hurricanes form when an area of low pressure moves over warm ocean water with plenty of moisture in the air, weak wind shear, and far enough from the equator that the system can start to rotate.
No. Like most forms of violent weather, hurricanes and tornadoes are associated with low pressure.
It is better to day they form in low pressure areas. Hurricanes themselves are large, intense low pressure systems. Tornadoes also produce low pressure but are too small to be considered their own weather systems. They generally form in a broad area of low pressure as well.
Hurricanes form from areas of low atmospheric pressure.
Tornadoes form from thunderstorms usually associated with mid-latitude low pressure systems, sometimes called frontal lows. They can also form with other systems such as hurricanes, though.
Maritime Tropical
Like other storms hurricane are produce by low pressure.
Cyclones, Hurricanes, and Typhoons (different names for the same type of storm) form around low pressure zones above warm ocean water.
low pressure systems form at fronts
low pressure systems form at fronts
Hurricanes form over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually form over land.
No. While many hurricanes do produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are the result of storm systems other than hurricanes. Addtionally, the tornadoes that do form in hurricanes usually form along the front part of the storm.
Tornadoes are themselves small low pressure areas, and generally form with low pressure systems. Most low pressure systems, however, do not produce tornadoes.
