Question

How does the sea temperature affect hurricane formation?

Answer 1

The higher the sea surface temperature, the faster the warm, moist air rises into the atmosphere. This updraft creates a donut shaped vortex that is rising in the middle and going downward on the sides. The more moisture in the air (humidity), the stronger the vortex will become as the moisture rises through convective currents, cools, and falls through convective currents. This eventually causes rotation of the storm mass and you get a tropical cyclone. So, the high sea surface temperatures and humidity are actually the engine that forms a hurricane and causes it to increase in strength.

Answer 2

Hey! @Agl202 you stole my answer from Yahoo lol

Hurricanes depend on warm ocean water to develop. The warmer water is the more water vapor it produces ad the more it warms the air directly above it. This warm, moist air is essentially the fuel of a hurricane. The warmer the water the stronger a hurricane is likely to become. If a hurricane moves over cold water it will weaken and die.
