the ingredient that contribute to the Formation of a hurricane are?

Question

which of these choices? low pressure area/ warm ocean/energy from water vapor condensation or high pressure area/warm ocean/thermal energy from water evaporation or updrafts/warm air/low pressure center/solar energy or spiral winds/warm air/high pressure center/solar energy?

Answer 1

A hurricane begins as a low pressure area- the lower the barometric pressure the stronger the hurricane. Warm water- the ocean- is the fuel for the hurricane. The warmer the ocean temperatures, the more fuel for the hurricane- this also helps the storm to strengthen. Also, needed is the energy from water vapor condensation- cloud cover.

Answer 2

The first ingredient in the hurricane recipe is a sea surface temperature of at least 27.8 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit). Unlike traditional infrared satellite instruments, the Aqua satellite's Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer E and the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission's microwave imager can detect sea surface temperatures through clouds. This valuable information can help determine if a tropical cyclone is likely to strengthen or weaken. The joint U.S.-French Jason-1 satellite altimeter, managed by JPL, provides data on sea surface height, a key measurement of ocean energy available to encourage and sustain hurricanes.

Answer 3

n meteorology, a tropical cyclone is a storm system with a closed circulation around a centre of low pressure, fueled by the heat released when moist air rises and condenses. The name underscores their origin in the tropics and their cyclonic nature. They are distinguished from other cyclonic storms such as nor'easters and polar lows by the heat mechanism that fuels them, which makes them "warm core" storm systems.

Depending on their strength and location, there are various terms by which tropical cyclones can be described, such as tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane and typhoon.

Tropical cyclones can produce extremely high winds, tornadoes, torrential rain (leading to mudslides and flash floods), and drive storm surge onto coastal areas. Though the effects on populations and ships can be catastrophic, tropical cyclones have been known to relieve drought conditions. They carry heat away from the tropics, an important mechanism of the global atmospheric circulation that maintains equilibrium in the environment...
