All large scale storm systems on earth have low pressure. The low pressure pulls in air that can act a fuel for the storm and creates a pressure gradient force that generates wind. Generally speaking, the lower the pressure in a storm, the stronger it is.

What are five things that cause a hurricane to form?

Warm ocean water, typically above 26.5 degrees Celsius, provides the energy for a hurricane to form. Low pressure system helps sustain the storm by drawing in moisture and heat from the ocean surface. High humidity in the atmosphere allows for the potential development of hurricanes. Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, provides the spin necessary for the storm to organize. A disturbance, like a tropical wave or trough, can trigger the initial formation of a hurricane.


Why does a hurricane need hot moisture?

Warm, moist air holds large amounts of energy in the form of latent heat. This energy is released when the moisture condenses into clouds and precipitation. This is what powers a hurricane.


How do victims of Hurricane Sandy get a FEMA registration number?

Why does a hurricane need to stay over warm water to form?

Warm water provides the energy needed for a hurricane to form and strengthen. As the warm water evaporates, it releases heat into the atmosphere, creating rising air and forming clouds. This process of evaporation and condensation fuels the storm's circulation and intensifies its winds.


Does hurricane need a capital lertter?

No, because it is a general/nonspecific noun, however if you were naming a particular hurricane i.e. Hurricane Katrina, then a capital letter for hurricane would be needed because it is a proper noun.

Under which circumstances does the IRS provide tax relief?

There are few circumstances in which the IRS provides tax relief. However, victims of natural disaster, such as those in the path of Hurricane Sandy, usually receive some form of relief. Those who declare bankruptcy or have some other extenuating circumstances may qualify, but they will usually need a lawyer to argue their case.

What has to increase for metamorphic rock to occur?

You need to increase heat and / or pressure for a metamorphic rock to form.


You record the sea temperature to be 28C the humidity to be very high and a very light breeze. Do you expect a hurricane to form in these conditions Please Explain why or why not.?

No, a hurricane would not form in those conditions. There is not enough breeze to do so, but all of the other factors are favorable for a hurricane to form. The sea temperature has to be about 26oC and the sea temperature is 28oC. Also, the air has to be moist because hurricanes produce lots of precipitation, and it says that the humidity is very high. But, you would also need to know where the location is because a hurricane forms between 8o and 20o of the Equator.
