How are typhoons and hurricanes formed?

Hurricanes that hit the US are formed over the Atlantic Ocean by the warm water off the tropical west coast of Africa. The warm water warms the air above it. Hurricanes start as a low pressure area, then the circling winds pick up energy from the warm moist air.Warm air rises. The air cools as it rises, and cannot hold all its moisture. The water condenses out of the air, which is a process that gives off heat. The heat energizes the circling winds to greater speed and height, picking up more moist warm air and pushing the cycle to greater and greater strength.Whenever a hurricane moves over land or cold water, it loses this heat engine and immediately starts to lose its strength.It starts as a Tropical Depression and has an organized circulation, a closed system of thunderstorms and heavy clouds.It becomes a Tropical Storm when the wind speed hits 39 miles per hour (63 km/h).It is an official Hurricane at wind speeds of 74 miles an hour (119 km/h).Hurricanes are called cyclones or typhoons in different parts of the world. They circle counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere and go clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
