How Do Hurricanes Form and Why Do They Intensify Over Warm Oceans?

Hurricanes are like giant whirlpools in the sky. They start when warm water on the ocean evaporates, making moist air rise up and cool down, this creates a low-pressure zone, which pulls more air into it. As it spins faster and faster, the storm grows bigger and stronger. When it moves over more warm water, it gets even stronger because there’s more heat energy to power it.
