Hurricanes develop over warm tropical waters. The energy necessary for its development comes from the warm ocean waters over which it passes. Through the process of evaporation energy stored in the ocean is lifted into the storm and then released during condensation.
The warmer the water surface over which a tropical wind system passes, the more energy is available for the storm.
Hurricanes are formed when damp air rises from the surface of warm tropical seas. The sun heats the air and, as the air rises, there is a powerful updraft. This cools and turns into rain.
The updraft is kept fuelled as more hot moist air rises. The movement of the earth in an eastwardly direction pushes the moist air currents to one side resulting in hurricanes moving in a counter-clockwise direction.
