Anatomy of hurricanes?
All hurricanes are formed in tropical waters, and many start in the Atlantic Ocean. These storms can only form in warm waters when the sea, wind and air pressure conditions are just right. Once they are active, hurricanes can be moved around by powerful gusts of wind known as steering winds. The winds help build the hurricanes up and give them more power, and when they are large enough they can cause massive rain fall, large waves that break well beyond the shoreline known as storm surges and a spiraling cyclone of wind and water that can be destructive and deadly.
