Do hurricanes gain strength by tropical cyclones?

No. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone.


How does the amount of humidity effect a hurricane?

The more humid the air the more potential there is for a hurricane to gain strength. Hurricanes get their energy from the latent heat stored in the moisture of the air, which is released when that moisture condenses.


How can a hurricane strengthen over cold water?

A true hurricane cannot strength over cold water. However, hurricanes that move into colder environments can undergo a process called extratropical transition in which they lose tropical characteristics. After this is complete the storm is no longer a hurricane but is considered an extratropical cyclone. These storm systems gain their strength from temperature contrasts rather than warm water. A hurricane undergoing this transition brings tropical air into a cold environment, creating conditions ideal for a very powerful extratropical cyclone.


What parts of Earth's system interact to form a storm like a hurricane?

Hurricanes form from interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans. Hurricanes form from atmospheric disturbances that gain energy from the moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. Many other storms are fueled by this same moisture.


Why do hurricanes gain strength by warm water and not cold water?

Warm water tends to warm the air above it and also has a higher evaporation rate, which leads to the formation of a warm, moist air mass. Warm, moist air holds the large amounts of energy needed for a hurricane to strengthen and maintain its strength. Cold water tends to cool the air above it and has a low evaporation rate, leading to cooler, drier, more stable air. This cool, dry air does not provide the energy a hurricane needs, and its stability may actual rob energy from the convection that powers the storm.

Why can't hurricanes hit Chicago?

Hurricanes usually form over warm ocean waters near the equator, where they gain strength and energy. As hurricanes move northward, they tend to weaken as they encounter colder waters and less favorable atmospheric conditions. Additionally, the direction of prevailing winds and air pressure systems over North America typically steer hurricanes away from the Midwest towards the Atlantic or Gulf Coast.


How do you gain back strength?

Do a bunch of pushups.

How can hurricanes travel long distances?

They travel long distances by receiving their energy from the warm water, and as they travel over warm water, (such as the Gulf of Mexico) they gain speed and strength. They then travel over land with this energy, until it runs out, and the hurricane's power diminishes.

Why did the Nazi party gain strength in Germany?
