Hurricanes are large devastating tropical storms that contain high winds and large amounts of rainfall. A hurricane is naturally created over large bodies of water, such as the Atlantis and Pacific Oceans. Hurricanes are the most devastating form of the meteorological phenomenon known as the "tropical cyclone." Hurricanes are considered tropical because they are generated in tropical areas of the ocean near the Equator. They are considered cyclonic storms because they're winds are formed in circular motions, which differ in different hemispheres. They are also low-pressure systems, where the lowest pressure readings are recorded from within the hurricane. Hurricanes can be very damaging because of its extreme winds and rain.
             A tropical storm is considered a hurricane when its winds are greater than 74 miles per hour. Hurricanes only occur in the summer months when the water temperature is above 79 degrees Fahrenheit. A hurricane and its large amounts of rainfall can cause massive flooding to rivers, streams and oceans. This flooding can devastate people, their homes and their personal belongings. The lifespan of a hurricane can last about two weeks while traveling over an ocean, and can generate enough energy to travel along the whole Atlantic coast. A hurricane comes to an end when high wind speeds tear the hurricane apart or when there is no longer enough warm moisture to keep it in tact. This happens when a hurricanes travels over cooler waters or over land masses. Although a hurricane is coming to its end though, it can still be rejuvenated if it moves to a region that has the warm moisture it needs to survive, or if it joins another storm system.
             After hurricanes are formed they generate energy from the evaporation of warm moisture off the water. The warm moisture, which is then evaporated, rises into the atmosphere and causes winds to circulate and gain more energy from the large amounts warm moist air. Hurri...
