Why are Atlantic hurricanes formed in the same area?

Question

I know that hurricanes are generally formed off the coast of Africa, and then begin that usual route upwards towards America. However, I'm intrigued as to why this happens. What special ingredients or factors contribute in this area to make an Atlantic hurricane?

Answer 1

These thing are formed at places where warm and cold currents meet. The wind over them is hot and cold and due to convection currents the form hurricanes. Depending on their temperature they move toward low or high pressure areas. That is why they take the general path. Thay change their direction with the change in season.

Answer 2

it all has to to with sea tempature, the warmest water is around the equator, when a low pressure system forms it craves warm water  A tropical cyclone feeds on the heat released when moist air rises and the water vapor it contains condenses. cyclones are steered by air currents and during june-november it is mostly a westerly track to a northwesterly track

Answer 3

It has to do with winds/ air pressure/ water currents. They are just most favorable for hurricanes to form off the coast of Africa

Answer 4

because............if they were formed in another area, they'd be Pacific hurricanes (for example.)
