Hurricane
|
|
A
hurricane is a powerful, rotating storm that forms over warm oceans
near the Equator. Hurricanes have strong, rotating winds (at least
74 miles per hour or 119 kilometers per hour), a huge amount of
rain, low air pressure, thunder and lightning. The cyclonic winds
of a hurricane rotate in a counterclockwise direction around a
central, calm eye. If this type of storm forms in the western
Pacific Ocean, it is called a typhoon.
Hurricanes often travel from the ocean to the coast and on to
land, where the wind, rain, and huge waves can cause extensive
destructions. Generally, when a hurricane moves over land (or
over cold ocean waters) the storm begins to weaken and quickly
dies down because the storm is fueled by warm water. On average,
there are about 100 tropical cyclones worldwide each year; 12
of these form in the Atlantic Ocean, 15 form in the eastern Pacfic
Ocean and the rest are in other areas. Hurricane season is from
June 1 until November 30. In the eastern Pacific Ocean, hurricane
season is from May 15 until November 30. |
