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.

Hurricane formation from weakest to strongest?

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.


When is a hurricane considered a tropical storm and what are all the different types a storm a hurricane can turn into?

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.


How powerful do winds have to be to become a hurricane?
