GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hurricanes form over the ocean, often beginning as a tropical wave-a low pressure area that moves through the moisture-rich tropics, possibly enhancing shower and thunderstorm activity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical storms and hurricanes most frequently occur off the Southeast and mid-Atlantic coasts, but they can also roam the Atlantic Basin anywhere between the northern Bahamas and Atlantic Canada, in the Gulf of Mexico, the eastern Caribbean Sea and the western tropical Atlantic (to the east of the Lesser Antilles).

Detailed explanation-3: -China. The fact that China’s typhoon season lasts the entire year makes it the country that experiences the most hurricanes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hurricanes form when warm moist air over water begins to rise. The rising air is replaced by cooler air. This process continues to grow large clouds and thunderstorms. These thunderstorms continue to grow and begin to rotate thanks to earth’s Coriolis Effect.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hurricanes form from a cluster of thunderstorms that suck up the warm, moist air and move it high into Earth’s atmosphere. The warm air is then converted into energy that powers the hurricane’s circular winds. These winds spin around a low-pressure center called the eye.
