Why is water important in the formation of hurricanes?
water produces the winds that move the hurricanes
warm water allows for evaporation which produces the winds to fuel the hurricanes
cold water produces the moisture that creates water vapor and energy to fuel the hurricane
warm water produces the moisture that produces water vapor which in turn releases heat energy to fuel the hurricane
