Hurricanes are big, windy storms that happen near warm oceans! 🌊💨 They spin around like a giant top and bring lots of rain and wind.
They happen in warm places because the sun heats the ocean water, and the warm water makes the air move in a big circle. That's how a hurricane starts!
Hurricanes are powerful storms that form over warm ocean water near the equator. 🌎🔥 When the sun heats the ocean, the warm water evaporates and rises, creating clouds and wind. If the conditions are right, the wind starts spinning, and a hurricane is born!
Places like the Caribbean and Florida often get hurricanes because the ocean there is very warm. The storm gets stronger as it moves over more warm water.
Hurricanes, also called tropical cyclones, form over warm ocean waters (at least 80°F or 27°C) near the equator. 🌡️🌊 Warm air rises from the ocean, creating an area of low pressure. Cooler air rushes in to fill the gap, and the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect) makes the wind spin.
Places like the Gulf of Mexico and Southeast Asia are prone to hurricanes because the warm ocean currents there provide the perfect conditions. The storm grows stronger as it absorbs heat and moisture from the ocean.
Scientists track hurricanes using satellites and airplanes to warn people before they hit land. 🛰️✈️
