A Hurricane is exactly the same as a Cyclone. Cyclones are in the East Indies (Indonesia & thereabouts) & Hurricanes are in the West Indies, the Carribean & the Gulf of Mexico. It is a huge depression in low pressure with massively high winds rotating around the centre.
Hurricanes are developed and powered, so to speak by seas. Therefore when there are no seas present hurricanes become weakened and die.
Hurricanes begin as clusters of thunderstorms over warm ocean waters near the equator. As the warm air rises, it creates a low-pressure system that starts to rotate due to the Earth's rotation. If the conditions are right, the storm can strengthen and develop into a hurricane.
When they move over dry land they begin to lose power.
Hurricanes generally begin to form around the equator, typically between 5 to 20 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This is where the warm ocean temperatures and coriolis effect provide the necessary conditions for hurricane development.
The hurricane that hit Belize in 1931 did not have a name. Hurricanes did not officially have names until 1953. The one in Belize was a Category 4 and killed about 2,500 people.
Hurricanes
In warm oceans near the equator.
Hurricanes increase rain which helps with moving the debri and also helps plants begin to grow back.
Bushfires do not have names, unlike cyclones and hurricanes.
Hurricanes begin die out when they come in contact with a landmass, or when they reach the coastline. Small islands are not enough to stop a hurricane.

Warm water evaporates and fuels these storms.
Hurricanes usually originate as disorganized clusters of thunderstorms called tropical disturbances. In the Atlantic, many of the disturbances that become hurricanes develop as the move over the ocean from Africa near the Cape Verde Islands. Hurricanes that begin in this manner, called Cape-Verde type hurricanes, are more likely to become major hurricanes than other Atlantic hurricanes.
When they move over dry land they begin to lose power.
