Hurricanes

Hurricanes are powerful tropical cyclones with wind speeds over 200 km/h. They form over warm oceans, where evaporation and rising warm air create low pressure, leading to storm clouds and spinning due to the Coriolis effect. As they grow, they become massive, with a calm center called the eye. When hurricanes hit land, they cause significant damage through wind, rain, and storm surges, but lose energy as they move inland.
