GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -1. The first condition is that ocean waters must be above 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit). Below this threshold temperature, hurricanes will not form or will weaken rapidly once they move over water below this threshold.

Detailed explanation-2: -For one to form, there needs to be warm ocean water and moist, humid air in the region. When humid air is flowing upward at a zone of low pressure over warm ocean water, the water is released from the air, as creating the clouds of the storm. As it rises, the air in a hurricane rotates.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Several conditions are needed for a tropical cyclone to form: High sea temperatures of at least 27°C. Converging winds near the ocean surface forcing air to rise and form storm clouds. Winds that do not vary greatly with height-known as low wind shear.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are several favorable environmental conditions that must be in place before a tropical cyclone can form. They are: Warm ocean waters (at least 80 °F / 27 °C ) throughout a depth of about 150 ft. (46 m ).
