Hurricanes depend on plentiful warm, moist air. A hurricane that encounters cold air will turn into a post-tropical cyclone.

Does air pressure increase as you go towards the center of a hurricane?

No. Air pressure decreases.


How do hurricane's form and how do they get their energy?

Hurricanes form when there is a layer of cold air above a layer of warm air. The warm air wants to go up the cold air wants to go down. When there is a finger of hot air rising a complimentary finger of cold air will descend - this is what a hurricane is. When ever you have something falling from a great height you have a drastic release of energy. This is the energy of the hurricane. In the broadest sense the energy comes from the sun that heated the low lying air that favoured the warm/cold transfer, this is the energy that raises the warm air to a higher elevation. It is the energy released when the cold air falls that the hurricane is mostly known for.


Can a hurricane die down becasue its too cold?

Yes. Hurricanes depend on warm, moist air to maintain their strength. A hurricane that enters a cold environment will usually weaken and dissipate.

What effect does cold air have on air pressure?

Cold air is denser than warm air, so it exerts a higher pressure. When cold air moves into an area, it can increase the air pressure in that location. Conversely, when warm air moves into an area, it can decrease the air pressure.

Does air pressure increase or decrease towards the center of the hurricane?

Air pressure decreases towards the center of a hurricane, reaching its lowest point at the eye of the storm. This decrease in pressure is a key factor in the strong winds and intense storm surge associated with hurricanes.


How cold can it be in the Eye of a Hurricane?

The temperature in the eye of a hurricane is generally similar to the surrounding environment, which is typically warm due to the energy released by the storm. It is unlikely to be extremely cold in the eye of a hurricane, as the warm air rising in the eyewall helps maintain a relatively stable temperature.
