What are Hurricanes

Hurricanes are violent storms with high wind speeds.

How do they form?

When air blows over an open ocean warm water is evaporated and they form cumulus clouds

The evaporation and condensation continue making the clouds rise

Then a pattern is formed when air goes down the middle and makes the storm swirl

When it grows the top cools causing it to become unstable which makes it moves they usually stop when they hit land

Where do they form?

They usually form in the Atlantic or Pacific oceans

BUT ONLY OVER WATER

How bad are they?

Hurricanes are really bad. They are the 3 D’s
