The storm, fueled by warm water vapor, grows and continues to spiral as it moves across the ocean.

The sun warms the surface of the ocean water.

Big rain clouds and an inward spiraling wind pa�ern develop.

Water vapor rises through the air.

Humans see what damage the storm did, and rebuild.

Cool air rushes in to replace the warm air that is rising. Clouds form.

As the hurricane reaches land, the storm surge and heavy rain cause flooding.

Without water vapor from warm ocean water, the storm begins to die out.

Hurricanes result from natural processes. Number the steps of a hurricane in the correct order from the beginning stages to the a�ermath.
