How are tropical storms formed?

The sun warms the ocean surface to Trade winds at the equator cause the Air continues to rise and the pressure

starts to evaporate creating low
pressure.

Air rises faster and draws in more As the storm moves over the ocean, it It can take hours or days to fully form
warm air from the sea surface whilst picks up more warm moist air. The a hurricane. The eye has calm winds
sucking cooler air downwards. speed of its winds increase as more air which are surrounded by a spinning
