How hurricanes form

The video explains how warm air rises due to converging winds, forming clouds and rain as it condenses. This process releases heat, creating wind patterns that spiral around the storm's eye. Water vapor from the ocean fuels the storm, increasing its intensity. A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its sustained wind speeds exceed 74 mph.

Explain how the exchange of heat from the surface creates a pattern of wind.
