What are Hurricanes?

Formation and Naming

●
Hurricanes are powerful tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters.
●
They form when warm, moist air rises, creating a low-pressure area.
●
The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, helps to shape the storm into a spiral shape.
●
Hurricanes are named using the phonetic alphabet, with each storm being given a unique name.
●
The names are chosen from a list of pre-determined names, which are recycled every 6 years.

Hurricane Formation and Naming

Continued

●
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is responsible for monitoring and naming hurricanes.
●
The NHC uses a list of pre-determined names, which are recycled every 6 years.
●
The names are chosen from a list of 21 names, with each name being used only once per 6-year cycle.
●
The names are chosen to be easy to pronounce and remember.

Eye, Eyewall, and Rain Bands

●
The eye of the hurricane is the center of the storm, where the weather is calm and clear.
●
The eyewall is the ring of towering thunderstorms that surrounds the eye.
●
The rain bands are the bands of clouds and rain that extend from the eyewall to the outer edges of the storm.
