Wind shear is one of the most critical factors in controlling or even destroying hurricane formation, the more wind, the more powerful the hurricane. Conversely, if the wind is blowing in the opposite direction of the hurricane, it can slow it down or destroy it.

How does the atmosphere affect hurricanes?

The atmosphere provides the necessary conditions for hurricane formation, such as warm ocean waters and low wind shear. Changes in temperature, humidity, and wind patterns can influence the intensity and movement of a hurricane. Additionally, atmospheric conditions like high-pressure systems or jet streams can steer or weaken hurricanes.
