What happens to a tropical depression in a hurricane?
A tropical depression is a weak tropical cyclone wind sustained winds of less than 39 miles per hour. As the depression is fueled by moisture from warm ocean water it gains strength and becomes more organized. When wind speeds reach 39 mph it becomes a tropical storm. When they reach 74 mph it becomes a hurricane.
What determines when a storm or tropical depression is given hurricane status?
Hurricanes are given status based on the maximum sustained wind speed of the storm system. Specifically, when a storm reaches sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher, it is classified as a hurricane. Additionally, other factors like atmospheric conditions and the organization of the storm system are taken into account before making the classification.

What distinguishes a hurricane from a tropical storm?
While all are large storms of tropical nature, their official storm name has to do with its wind speeds. When the storms are in their infant stages as just a general area of low pressure that has the potential to strengthen, they're usually given the name "Tropical Depression" It doesn't get a name like "Betty" or "Donald" just yet, instead, it gets a sequential number, like "Tropical Depression 3." If the storm's peak winds become greater than 39 mph, then it's now a "tropical storm" and it gets a real name from the National Hurricane Center, like "Tropical Storm Barry." If the storm continues to grow and reaches wind speeds over 74 mph, it's then a hurricane, but it keeps its identifying name for continuity sake.
