What else can I help you with?
What is a hurricane powered by?
A hurricane is powered by the latent heat stored in war moist air.
What is a hurricane's source of energy?
Heat of water.
What does evaporation of the sea water do to the hurricane?
Evaporation of sea water does absolutely nothing for a hurricane except provide water vapor. When the water vapor turns back to water in the form of rain it gives off heat. Hurricanes are massive heat engines. As long as they have water vapor to turn into heat they can continue blowing along. Without water vapor, the hurricane has no source of heat.
Why does hurricane start out as?
They begin as a storm, and get larger if additional heat energy is added.
Is there a natural disaster that start with h?
A natural disaster that starts with "H" is -Hurricane & -Heat Wave
Is Hurricane Katrina a heat wave?
No. Hurricane Katrina was a hurricane, which is a type of very powerful storm.
What is a hurricane powered by?
A hurricane is powered by the latent heat stored in war moist air.
What is a hurricane's source of energy?
Heat of water.
Which weather turns heat from ocean into wind?
Hurricane.
What causes a hurricane to loose energy?
A hurricane gets its energy from heat rising from the sea. So naturally, when it hits land, that rising heat is no longer there to supply the hurricane with energy. So it begins to slow down and become weaker and weaker until it finally stops.

Can you slow down a hurricane with heat?
As far as I know, you can not. Why? Because, a hurricane draws its energy from the heated water when it goes over Atlantic Ocean, pushed by the Prevailing Winds. Once it gets over the land, it loses much of it's ferocity and slowly disbands.
Why does hurricane start out as?
They begin as a storm, and get larger if additional heat energy is added.
Was the evacutation effective for Hurricane Rita?
The evacuation for Hurricane Rita was much more efficient than Hurricane Katrina. The big difference is that the governors in the states involved ordered mandatory evacuations. There were some deaths from heat problems.
Is there a natural disaster that start with h?
A natural disaster that starts with "H" is -Hurricane & -Heat Wave
How does a hurricane remain a hurricane?
A hurricane maintains its strength by drawing energy from warm ocean waters. As warm, moist air rises from the surface, it cools and condenses, releasing latent heat which fuels the storm's circulation and intensifies it. As long as the hurricane remains over warm waters and in an environment conducive to its development, it can sustain its strength.
Where do hurricanes and typhoons get their heat from and where do they send the heat?
The heat of a typhoon or hurricane comes from water vapor, which in turn gets its heat from warm ocean water. The heat then either gets radiated into space or transferred to higher latitudes.
