Where do hurricanes get their moisture?
The moisture that fuels a hurricane is water vapor that comes from warm ocean water.
Where does all the rain come from in a hurricane?
Hurricanes are driven by moisture that evaporates off warm ocean water. This moisture the condenses within the storm, releasing energy that drives the hurricane and then falling to earth as rain.
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.
Why did hurricane sandy produce so much rain?
All hurricanes produce large amounts of rain. It is a result of the huge amount of moisture a hurricane carries.
Why do hurricanes dissipate so quickly once they make landfall?
Hurricanes are powered by the moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. Most often a hurricane dissipates when it encounters land or cold water, which cuts it off from this power source. Hurricanes can also dissipate if they encounter a mass of dry air, which has a similar effect, or strong wind shear, which disrupts their structure.
Why does a hurricane need to form over the ocean?
Hurricanes are fueled by moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. The necessary amounts of moisture cannot be found over land.
Where do hurricanes get their moisture?
The moisture that fuels a hurricane is water vapor that comes from warm ocean water.
Is a hurricane made out of wind?
A hurricane is not made out of wind . . . a hurricane is made from warm air currents and air moisture, and creates highs winds.
When and where hurricane occur?
hurricane occurs in wet seasons hurricane occurs in hot wet climates
How do hurricanes keep their energy?
In order to maintain their strength a hurricane needs a continuous supply of moisture from warm ocean water. When the moisture condenses as it reaches cloud level it releases energy. A hurricane will weaken rapidly if it is cut off from this moisture.

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.
What does a hurricane need to strengthen?
A hurricane needs warm ocean water, high humidity in the atmosphere, and relatively low wind shear to strengthen. These conditions allow the storm to draw in more moisture and heat energy, fueling its intensification.
Do hurricanes need wind or sunlight to form?
Both in a way. Sunlight is what heats the oceans. The warm water the provides the moisture that fuels hurricanes. The wind generated by the precursor to a hurricane helps bring in more moisture to power the storm.
Where and when do hurricanes?
hurricane occurs in wet seasons hurricane occurs in hot wet climates
What special conditions does sorghum need to thrive?
It needs to be grown in a hot, dry climate with little moisture or it will die
Why storms such as hurricanesonly form over warm ocean?
Hurricanes get the energy they need from the moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. Without this energy source a hurricane weakens and dissipates.
