Do warmer seas make stronger hurricanes?

Question

this is to help me on a science fair project and a reading project as well so i would like to ask if you guys would give mee alot of detail.

Answer 1

Absolutely. The warmer the water in the ocean the stronger the hurricane and the more dangerous it becomes. Thats how Hurricane Katrina became a category 5 storm. But warmer seas alone dont make a stronger hurricane. It needs high humidity and a low pressure system to go with it.

Answer 2

Yes. Hurricane's thrive on very warm water. That is why hurricane season is during the Summer and Fall months (June 1 - Nov. 30) after the water has warmed. Water warms slower than air and alternatively cools slower which is why hurricane season last until Nov. 30.
In addition, most hurricanes form in the tropics or the Caribbean (warm ocean waters) and begin to fissile out once they reach the cool northern Atlantic waters (north or North Carolina)

Answer 3

Yes. Warmer=more energy=stronger storms.

Answer 4

Go to weatherquestions.com- this will give you some information on this. yes warm water causes hurricanes, but it also deals with water vapor.

Answer 5

definite, because the hotter seas create moisture that condenses interior the cooler ecosystem that provide you with on to a typhoon. also the hotter seas create wind (considering wind comes from shifting warmth) and provides you to the intensity of a typhoon.
