Where do Hurricanes get it's force from??

Answer 1

Hurricanes usually form in the tropical zones north and south of the equator, where warm waters offer ample fuel for storm formation. That's where you see convection, where warm air rises and forms clusters of thunderstorms. The Coriolis effect, created by the Earth's spinning motion, may cause this cluster of storms to rotate (counter-clockwise above the equator, or clockwise below), but the system has to be a few hundred miles from the equator for the Coriolis force to exert an effect. If the system becomes organized and strong enough, with sustained winds of 39 miles per hour, it becomes a tropical storm. At 74 miles per hour or more, it becomes a hurricane.

Answer 2

Ultimately, all weather phenomena on earth is the result of unequal heating of the earths surface by the sun. Hurricanes and weather in general can be attributed to solar energy and the unequal distribution of it. Weather is nothing more than natures attempt to equalize the imbalance of energy around the globe.

Answer 3

Tropical temperature waters.

Answer 4

Warm waters. That's why when you see a Hurricane pass the Gulf of Mexico, bam! It turns into a Category 5.
