Why don't hurricanes develop over land?
Hurricanes need very warm moist air to form. The amount of moisture needed can only be found over warm ocean water.Hurricanes gain get their energy from the large amounts of moisture that eveporate from warm ocean water. There is not enough moisture over land for hurricanes to form or sustain themselves.
Are there hurricanes in the southern hemisphere?
Yes, there are hurricanes in the southern hemisphere, but they are called cyclones or typhoons depending on the region.
Do underwater currents steer hurricanes?
Underwater currents do not directly steer hurricanes. However, warm ocean currents can provide the energy and moisture needed for hurricanes to form and strengthen. The interaction between hurricanes and ocean currents can influence the storm's intensity and movement.
Does the southern hemisphere experience hurricanes?
Yes, the southern hemisphere does experience hurricanes, but they are called cyclones or typhoons depending on the region.
Where do people call hurricanes typhoons?
Hurricanes are called typhoons in the Northwest Pacific Ocean region. Typhoons and hurricanes are essentially the same type of storm, but they are given different names based on the region in which they occur.
In what region is there a great deal of moisture but no hurricanes?
The Ozark Highlands, the jungles of Africa, and South America.
What region in china has warm weather and lots of moisture?
the area that includes hong kong
Does a hurricane last less than an hour?
That is dependant on the temperature of the region and moisture of the air. Hurricanes feed of moisture and heat to fuel them, in some cases the answer is yes while others can survive for days
In what region in texas does hurricanes usually occur in?
Most hurricanes happen in the coastal plains region of Texas
Where do hurricanes usually appear?
Along the equator and oceans. It's this combination of moisture and heat that creates hurricanes.
Where do hurricanes get their moisture?
The moisture that fuels a hurricane is water vapor that comes from warm ocean water.
How come hurricanes are weaker in warm water?
This isn't true. Hurricanes generally get stronger over warm water. Hurricanes are fueled by the moisture that evaporates from this warm water.The weaken over cold water and over land because they don't have that supply of moisture.
Which region in china has warm weather and lots of moisture?
Bejing has a lot of warm weather and more than half the year is moist and sticky
Why do hurricanes dissipate so quickly once they make landfall?
Hurricanes are powered by the moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. Most often a hurricane dissipates when it encounters land or cold water, which cuts it off from this power source. Hurricanes can also dissipate if they encounter a mass of dry air, which has a similar effect, or strong wind shear, which disrupts their structure.
Why are hurricanes most common in the warm summer months?
Hurricanes are powered by warm, moist air from tropical water. The moisture that hurricanes need is generally most abundant in the summer.
Why don't hurricanes form over the north Atlantic ocean?
Hurricanes require huge amounts of moisture to form. This moisture can only be found over warm ocean water. The north Atlantic is too cold for this.
Are there hurricanes in space?
No. there is no air in space and hurricanes are strong storms with lots of organized air movement. (Emrala Arvus posting here) actually in OPEN space there are none, but you know the big red spot on Jupiter? that actually IS a huge huricain
