The water must be at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The warm water provides the energy for increased evaporation of water from the ocean surface. The warm water must be at least 200 feet deep. There should be very little wind shear in the area.]]> 2018-02-16 18:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_holt_751/osvotn40g3it/wish/232468759 Where Hurricanes Form? julian_bernabe_360 https://padlet.com/tanner_holt_751/osvotn40g3it/wish/232473415 hurricanes are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface. Another way to say the same thing is that the warm air rises, causing an area of lower air pressure below.]]> 2018-02-16 19:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_holt_751/osvotn40g3it/wish/232473415 The Parts of a Hurricane tanner_holt_751 https://padlet.com/tanner_holt_751/osvotn40g3it/wish/232473982   ]]> 2018-02-16 19:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_holt_751/osvotn40g3it/wish/232473982 Why Hurricanes Dissipate? tanner_holt_751 https://padlet.com/tanner_holt_751/osvotn40g3it/wish/232476839 1. Colder sea surface temperatures
2. Shearing winds aloft
3. Sinking air
4. Land, of course]]> 2018-02-16 19:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_holt_751/osvotn40g3it/wish/232476839 What Causes Hurricanes to Move and What Steers Them? julian_bernabe_360 https://padlet.com/tanner_holt_751/osvotn40g3it/wish/232478362 The path of a hurricane greatly depends upon the wind belt in which it is located. A hurricane originating in the eastern tropical Atlantic, for example, is driven westward by easterly trade winds in the tropics. Eventually, these storms turn northwestward around the subtropical high and migrate into higher latitudes. ]]> 2018-02-16 19:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tanner_holt_751/osvotn40g3it/wish/232478362 Citations tanner_holt_751 https://padlet.com/tanner_holt_751/osvotn40g3it/wish/232481182 1. “FEMA: Hurricane.” Federal Emergency Management Agency, www.fema.gov/hazard/hurricane/index.shtm.
