Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Warmer temperatures increase the rate of water evaporation, which feeds moisture and energy into storms.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fuel for a tropical cyclone is provided by a transfer of water vapour and heat from the warm ocean to the overlying air, primarily by evaporation from the sea surface. As the warm, moist air rises, it expands and cools, quickly becoming saturated and releasing latent heat through the condensation of water vapour.
Detailed explanation-3: -Given that sea surface temperatures need to be at least 80°F (27°C) for tropical cyclones form, it is natural that they form near the equator.
