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.
Italy does not have hurricanes. Hurricanes form over tropical waters.
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.
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
Hurricane Ivan caused an estimated $27.1 billion in damage across parts of the Caribbean and the United States in 2004. The most severe impacts were felt in the Caribbean islands of Grenada and Cayman Islands, as well as along the Gulf Coast of the United States.
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.
Hurricanes can occur just about anywhere in the Caribbean.
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.
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.
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.

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.
The economic flight of Caribbean peoples across the globe
The University of the West Indies is located in the Caribbean. The university offers a variety of degree programs and has three locations across the islands.
There are countless tropical islands across various continents. Some examples include the Caribbean islands in North America, the Maldives in Asia, the Galapagos Islands in South America, and the Seychelles in Africa. Each continent has its own collection of tropical islands known for their stunning beaches, crystal clear waters, and unique biodiversity.
The United States of America does not have provinces or the mechanism to create them. The United States does have territories and protectorates across the Caribbean and Pacific which are Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Marianna Islands.
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.
