None
How would you strengthen a hurricane?
move over cold water
move over land
move over warm water
Which leads to low pressure systems?
warm air rising
warm air falling
cold air rising

Why do hurricanes form more often at the end of summer?
The ocean water is cooling off and creating more moisture in the air.
The ocean water is cooling off and creating less water vapor in the ocean.
The ocean water is much warmer which fuels the water cycle and creates lower air pressure.
The ocean water is much warmer which fuels a decrease in water vapor on the ocean's surface.
