Hurricanes come from the ocean when the water is very warm! 🌊☀️ They start as little storms and grow bigger and bigger, like a spinning top. When they get really strong, they can bring lots of wind and rain.
Imagine a giant fan spinning in the sky—that's a hurricane! But don't worry, scientists watch them closely to keep everyone safe. 🚀
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters near the equator. 🌍🔥 When the sun heats the water, it creates warm, moist air that rises and forms clouds. These clouds start spinning because of the Earth's rotation, and if the conditions are just right, a hurricane is born!
Hurricanes are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. They can be hundreds of miles wide and last for days or even weeks. Scientists use satellites and airplanes to study them and warn people when they're coming. 🛰️✈️
Hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones, originate over warm ocean waters near the equator (usually at least 26.5°C or 80°F). 🌊🔥 The process begins when the sun heats the ocean surface, causing water to evaporate and rise as warm, moist air. This creates an area of low pressure beneath, pulling in more air and forming thunderstorms.
Due to the Coriolis effect (caused by Earth's rotation), these storms start to spin. If wind conditions are favorable, the system organizes into a rotating storm with a central eye. Hurricanes are categorized by wind speed using the Saffir-Simpson scale (from Category 1 to 5).
Scientists use advanced technology like satellites, radar, and hurricane hunter aircraft to predict their paths and intensities, helping communities prepare. 🛰️🌀
