How do hurricanes form?

Hurricanes are actually very amazing storms. The reason they are so amazing is because hurricanes form almost instantly! They come from tropical regions with a lot of moisture which gets caught up in the cloud circulation causing these huge hurricanes.

Many people ask the question of how do hurricanes form? And I understand why so many people are so curious about these storms. The reason so many people want to know why hurricanes form is because it effects thousands of people a day. Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst hurricanes yet and killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Hurricanes form because of the crazy amount of wind and water vapor that is absorbed into the atmosphere daily. It all gets pulled in the hurricane forming which causes this massive monster to eat places a whole. This is the cause of hurricanes.

I don' really understand why hurricanes can cause so much damage, maybe because of the insane amount of wind they hold. Hurricanes can have winds up to 200 miles per hour at times, which can rip whole buildings out of the ground. Many times, boats are carried hundreds of miles inland from strong hurricanes.

I've just answered the question of why hurricanes form and hope this helped you out. I've always had an interest in them and am glad to see you do too!

Here's a cool video I found explaining where most hurricanes form.
