How Hurricanes are Formed - a Video Lesson for Kids Warm, moist air is drawn up from the ocean’s surface, feeding the storm. Within the center of the hurricane, downdrafts of dry air create a strangely calm area called the eye. fully formed, a hurricane may stretch over 500 miles in diameter… a storm nearly the size of texas… and reach a height of 9 miles.Most of these storms spin out over the open sea.ithin the center of the hurricane, downdrafts of dry air create a strangely calm area called the eye. fully formed, a hurricane may stretch over 500 miles in diameter… a storm nearly the size of texas… and reach a height of 9 miles.

Atlantic Hurricane Patterns and Whale and Dolphin Behavior salt water. When a hurricane comes through, the wind and waves stir up the ocean, creating a more homogeneous mixture in the upper levels of the water. The same thing happens to temperatures, with storms mixing colder water from lower in the ocean with warmer water from the surface.

Hurricanes & Tropical Cyclone Life Cycles Hurricanes weaken when they lose the right conditions. When winds slow below 119 kilometers per hour, the system becomes a tropical storm. When they slow even more, below 63 kilometers per hour, a tropical storm becomes a tropical depression.

Hurricanes Facts Hurricanes Facts. A hurricane, also known as a tropical cyclone, is a storm system that rotates rapidly. It has a low-pressure center with thunderstorms in a spiral formation that produce high winds and a lot of heavy rain.

How Do Hurricanes Form? A hurricane is a huge storm! It can be up to 600 miles across and have strong winds spiraling inward and upward at speeds of 75 to 200 mph.

How do hurricanes form? Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are called hurricanes. Whatever they are called, tropical cyclones all form the same way. Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface. Another way to say the same thing is that the warm air rises, causing an area of lower air pressure below.

- Hurricane Danny formed Thursday, becoming the first hurricane this year in the Atlantic Ocean, the National Hurricane Center said. As of 5 p.m. ET, Danny had maximum sustained winds of 80 mph, making it a Category 1 hurricane. It had been a tropical storm since Tuesday.

Earth Science for Kids Most of the damage is caused by flooding and storm surge. Storm surge is when the ocean level rises at the coastline due to the power of the storm. Hurricanes also cause damage with high speed winds that can blow down trees and damage homes.urricanes have sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour and an area of low air pressure in the center called the eye. Different Names for Hurricanes. The scientific name for a hurricane is a tropical cyclone.

- There are two ways that hurricanes produce flooding. In coastal areas the winds of a hurricane push seawater onto land. This is called the storm surge. Second, hurricanes prod … uce very heavy rainfall, which can overwhelm river and sewer systems.

Hurricane Katrina “Hurricane Alley” is a stretch of warm water through the Atlantic Ocean from the west coast of North Africa to the coast of Central America. This is where many of the hurricanes form. The strength and direction of a storm determines how dangerous it is.Hurricane Alley” is a stretch of warm water through the Atlantic Ocean from the west coast of North Africa to the coast of Central America.

What Causes Hurricanes? Hurricanes start when warm, moist air from the ocean surface begins to rise rapidly, where it encounters cooler air that causes the warm water vapor to condense and to form storm clouds and drops of rain.

- If all of the pre-conditions are met, hurricane formation then becomes possible. There are several types of atmospheric disturbances that can cause a hurricane to develop. The most common mechanism to cause hurricanes to form is the monsoon trough. This is an extension of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone where cyclonic spin has developed.

How Hurricanes Work How a Hurricane Forms. You never hear about hurricanes hitting Alaska. That's because hurricanes develop in warm, tropical regions where the water is at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius). The storms also require moist air and converging equatorial winds.

Hurricanes form over tropical oceans, where warm water and air interact to create these storms. At these latitudes, seawater is hot enough to give the storms strength and the rotation of the Earth makes them spin. Hurricanes start simply with the evaporation of warm seawater, which pumps water into the lower atmosphere. This humid air is then dragged aloft when converging winds collide and turn upwards.

How & Where Hurricanes Form Credit: Most hurricanes that hit the United States begin either in the Caribbean or the Atlantic. Many of the worst start as seedlings coming off the coast of Africa.

As a hurricanes winds spiral around and around the storm, they push water into a mound at the storms center. This mound of water becomes dangerous when the storm reaches land because it causes flooding along the coast.

Four Major Kinds Of Storms: Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, Hurric A hurricane beings over warm ocean water as a low-pressure area, or tropical disturbance. A hurricane draws its energy from the warm, humid air at the ocean's surface. As this air rises and forms clouds, more air is drawn into the system. As with storms systems, winds spiral inward toward the area of low-pressure. Inside the storm are bands of very high winds and heavy rains. Why are hurricanes dangerous? The Result is a storm surge, a dome of water that sweeps across the coast where hurricanes lands. Storm Surges can cause great damage, washing away beaches, destroying buildings along the coast, and eroding the coastlines.

What Happens During a Hurricane? According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a hurricane is an organized thunderstorm that occurs over water and has sustained winds that reach maximum speeds over 74 miles per hour. These storms originate over the Atlantic Basin, which includes the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea.

Play Whirlwind Disaster! Hurricanes are the most awesome, violent storms on Earth. They form near the equator over warm ocean waters. Actually, the term hurricane is used only for the large storms that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean.

Review: The Lovers' Exile by Marty Gross It put an end to the Northwest Indian War. The U.S, led by General Wayne, won the Battle of Fallen Timbers. In exchange for goods worth $20,000, the Native Americans gave large parts of modern day Ohio, the future downtown Chicago, the Fort Detroit area, Maumee Ohio area, and the lower Sandusky area.

Hurricanes A hurricane is a tropical storm with cyclonic wind speeds greater than 74 miles per hour. Hurricanes and tropical storms have had a major impact on Bermuda. Indeed it was a hurricane that led to the colonisation of the island by Sir George Somers and the crew of the Sea Venture in 1609. Despite this, the risk posed by hurricanes to visitors is fairly minimal.

How are Tropical cyclones formed? Tropical Cyclones (known as hurricanes and tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean, typhoons in the Pacific Ocean and cyclones in the Indian Ocean) can be a very powerful and destructive type of storm. This type of storm develops over oceans 8° to 15° North and South of the equator.
