What else can I help you with?
Where does the initial energy comes from that feeds the hurricane as it begins its journey across the Atlantic Ocean?
Hurricanes are mostly started and 'fed' by heat energy from the ocean (and hence, the air). Hurricanes often start in the Caribbean Sea and travel northerly or easterly along the US coastline.
Does Italy have hurricanes?
Italy does not have hurricanes. Hurricanes form over tropical waters.
What is the usual path of most hurricanes that come from Cape Verde Africa?
Most hurricanes that originate from the Cape Verde Islands typically follow a westward trajectory across the Atlantic Ocean. They often move into the Caribbean or toward the southeastern United States, influenced by the trade winds and the Bermuda high-pressure system. Some storms may curve northward before making landfall, while others can continue westward, potentially impacting the Gulf of Mexico. The specific path can vary greatly depending on atmospheric conditions and steering currents.
What are the geographical factors which would make it difficult for Caribbean people to develop a shared sense of identity?
It is difficult to establish a shared sense of identity when it is essentially impossible to define the Caribbean geographically by any one factor. For instance: - Not all islands rimmed by Caribbean sea is part of Caribbean and some Caribbean countries such as Barbados, Guyana and Bahamas aren't part of the CS but are part of the Caribbean -Longitude and Latitude provides a general and not at all specific location of the Caribbean, inevitably including islands which aren't referred to as part of Carib. - National identity tends to take precedence over Caribbean or regional identity. for eg. look at defining of borders not only on land masses but within the CS itself Basically the lack of cogency and no standard geographical definition make it difficult to produce that unified sense of space,and identity. use those points to write your essay. :) ISLC

What happens hurricanes that travel across islands in the Caribbean?
Smaller islands such as those of the Lesser Antilles will have little effect on hurricanes. Storms that hit the larger islands such as Cuba will weaken.
Where in the Caribbean does the hurricane move across?
Hurricanes can occur just about anywhere in the Caribbean.
What will happen to hurricane that travel across islands in the Caribbean do they continue to travel as hurricanes?
It depends on the islands. The Lesser Antilles are generally too small to significantly affect a hurricane. The larger islands of Hispaniola and Cuba may cause a hurricane to weaken to a tropical storm.
How does the wind affect the climate of the region in the Caribbean?
Winds in the Caribbean play a key role in regulating temperature, humidity, and precipitation patterns. The trade winds help moderate temperatures by bringing cool ocean breezes, and they also contribute to the formation of tropical storms and hurricanes in the region. Additionally, the trade winds can affect the distribution of rainfall across the Caribbean islands.
What does the Depth of the Caribbean Sea look like?
The depth of the Caribbean Sea is varied. Relatively shallow around the islands and across a wide area extending from Honduras out to Jamaica. The depth drastically falls off between Cuba and the Caymans to maximum depth of 25,216 feet. There is also an area of deep waters between South America and the islands of the Caribbean.
Where does the initial energy comes from that feeds the hurricane as it begins its journey across the Atlantic Ocean?
Hurricanes are mostly started and 'fed' by heat energy from the ocean (and hence, the air). Hurricanes often start in the Caribbean Sea and travel northerly or easterly along the US coastline.
Where does the sphaerodactylus gecko live?
The Sphaerodactylus gecko, commonly known as the Caribbean or dwarf gecko, primarily inhabits tropical regions, particularly in the Caribbean islands. These geckos are often found in a variety of environments, including forests, grasslands, and urban areas, where they can hide under rocks, leaf litter, or debris. Their adaptability to different habitats contributes to their widespread presence across several islands in the Caribbean.
What is the Caribbean diaspora?

Did Hurricane Andrew hit Asia?
No. Hurricane Andrew was formed on the west coast of Africa, and hurricanes always travel west first, possibly hitting land, then will curve up northeast before dying out. There is no way Hurricane Andrew could travel west all the way across the Atlantic, then Mexico, then all the way across the Pacific, and hit Asia. Hurricane Andrew would have been caught by some current near the Caribbean Islands, which it was.
