yes they can and sometimes hurricanes get stronger when they travel on water.
Atlantic
The south ocean
Yes. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
Hurricanes get their energy from warm water. Being in the tropics, they get stronger and stronger as more winds and warm waters help them move across the ocean.
Hurricanes typically develop in the warm regions of the Atlantic Ocean. The warm waters provide the energy needed for the formation and intensification of hurricanes.
Hurricanes form over the ocean. Some hit coasts and some don't. Those that do can travel significant distance inland while still maintaining hurricane strength.
Hurricanes are mostly started and 'fed' by heat energy from the ocean (and hence, the air). Hurricanes often start in the Caribbean Sea and travel northerly or easterly along the US coastline.
For two reasons. First, hurricanes tend to travel westward, so Pacific hurricanes will general travel away from the U.S. Additionally, there are cold ocean currents off the U.S. west coast, which tends to suppress hurricanes. By contrast the ocean water along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts is much water, which is ideal for hurricanes.
Hurricanes primarily form in the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean. The Atlantic hurricanes impact regions such as the Caribbean, Central America, and the southeastern United States. In the eastern Pacific, hurricanes affect countries along the west coast of Central America and Mexico.
Yes, hurricanes are a tropical oceanic phenomenon.
No. Hurricanes only happen when the ocean is close
