How Hurricanes Form and Why They’re Named Differently | Texas News
Description
Hurricane season’s heating up—here’s how these monstrous storms form: start with a tropical wave over 80°F water, where rising air creates thunderstorms that organize into depressions, then storms, and finally hurricanes when winds hit 74+ mph. Major hurricanes? Over 110 mph. But names vary by region: hurricanes in the Atlantic, typhoons in the Pacific, cyclones in the Indian Ocean—all same science, different labels. The Coriolis Force stops them from crossing the equator, and “hurricane” traces back to a Taíno storm god. Know the stages, stay prepared.
