I hurrican becomes a hurricane when the magnetic force acts upon it and it starts spinning. A hurrican becomes stronger when there is warm water so that is why it dies down when it hits the land. Hurricanes can be very powerful. They can produce heavy rains, winds, and even produce tornadoes very easily because the winds are spinning. ------------------------------------------------ Several corrections: -the magnetic field of the Earth is not involved in the formation of hurricanes. The rotation of the hurricane is due to the rotation of Earth (termed Coriolis effect). -A hurricane starts as a tropical depression and progresses to more severe storms. The different stages are classified based on their sustained wind speeds. For more information follow the link below.
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its sustained winds reach or exceed 74 mph (119 km/h). This increase in wind speed marks the transition from a tropical storm to a hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
Tropical Storm Ike became a hurricane on September 3, 2008.
Generally not. A tropical storm is the same type of storm as a hurricane except weaker. A tropical storm has sustained winds ranging from39 to 73 mph. One winds hit 74 mph or higher it is considered a hurricane.
Yes there has been a hurricane that has been named Victoria but not Tori. But Victoria was just a tropical storm but i still think it was really a hurricane instead of a tropical storm.
"Hurricane" Zeta was never a hurricane, just a tropical storm. There were no deaths from Tropical Storm Zeta.
If a storm does not have a circulation, then it is not a hurricane. Such a storm system that might become a hurricane is called a tropical disturbance.
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its sustained winds reach or exceed 74 mph (119 km/h). This increase in wind speed marks the transition from a tropical storm to a hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
The first named storm was Ana (tropical storm); the first hurricane was Bill.
Tropical Storm Rita became Hurricane Rita on September 20, 2005.
Hurricane Andrew obviously started as a Tropical storm . every single hurricane starts as a tropical storm hurricanes can sometimes go from a tropical storm to A Up from hurricane to a tropical storm very quickly . but the wind speed to start a hurricane is 74 anything less is a tropical storm
A storm doesn't have to be a hurricane to be named. A system is named as soon as it becomes a tropical or subtropical storm. About half of all tropical storms become hurricanes.
Tropical Depression and then Tropical Storm THEN Hurricane!
A hurricane will start as a Tropical Wave. It then becomes a Tropical Depression. A TD is given a number but not a name. Once the TD reaches 39 mile per hour winds its given a name and becomes a Tropical Storm. After reaching 74 mile per hour winds it becomes a hurricane.
A hurricane cannot be a tropical storm as by definition a tropical storm is weaker than a hurricane. A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with winds of 39-73 mph. Only when winds reach 74 mph or greater is the storm considered a hurricane. A hurricane can weaken into a tropical storm and from there into a tropical depression (winds under 39 mph). A tropical storm or depression may also degenerate into a remnant low, which is too disorganized to be considered a tropical cyclone. A tropical cyclone (hurricane, tropical storm, or tropical depression) may also become an extratropical cyclone after moving over land or cold water. Around the world hurricanes have different names. In the northwest Pacific ocean they are called typhoons, In the Indian ocean they are called intense tropical cyclones, and in the south Pacific they are simply called cyclones. However, these are just different names for essentially the same kind of storm.
A tropical storm must have sustained winds of at least 74 mph to be considered a hurricane.
Alex is either a tropical storm or a hurricane. Either way, if it is a hurricane, cateigory 1.
Just a tropical storm. Tropical storm and hurricane are just different intensity levels of the same type of weather system.
