hurricanes are becoming more intense
quicker tropical storms are gaining
strength and turning into hurricanes in
days or even hours and they can be
catastrophic the strongest hurricanes
can exceed wind speeds of 157 mph they
bring torrential rain and can cause
flash floods and deadly Storm surges
here's how they form hurricanes form in
tropical regions over warm ocean waters
that reach down at least 200 ft as this
warm water evaporates it saturates the
air and fuels the storm the cross Winds
near the top of the hurricane called
wind shear can't be too strong or they
disrupt its formation by blowing too
much dry air around and hurricanes need
all that moisture throughout to thrive
if all of these conditions are met then
wind speeds continue to Rise And
scientists predict that our increasingly
warmer atmosphere and oceans will feed
these hurricanes we may not see many
more of them than we used to but the
ones that we do see are likely to be
more and more intense
