Dubbed “Beta” after the National Hurricane Center ran out of names, the storm set a new record for the number of tropical cyclones to form in the Atlantic during a single year. As the wave entered the southwestern Caribbean, convection redeveloped and on October 26, the system spawned another low-pressure area which developed into Tropical …
Hurricanes need a lot of heat to form, which is why they usually occur over tropical seas (at least 26°C). The sun is close to the equator, providing energy to heat the ocean. The warm ocean heats the air above it causing it to rise rapidly. Water evaporates quickly from the hot surface of the …
Tropical storms Tropical Storms are areas of extreme low pressure. This means air is rising, causing ‘low pressure’ on the earth’s surface. Tropical storms release a lot of latest heat and warm the core of the developing hurricane. The winds in the upper atmosphere diverge. They move from high pressure at the top to the …
As it moves over land, its energy source is depleted and friction across the land surface distorts the air flow. This leads to the eye filling with cloud and the tropical cyclone dies. Give two reasons why tropical storms eventually lose their energy Friction from passing over the land makes them lose their energy Land …

To form, hurricanes need all of the right “ingredients.” As such, these tropical storms occur near shores and coastlines. In particular, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans produce the largest number of tropical cyclones. More specifically, the West Pacific tends to generate far more hurricanes than the Atlantic. One source stated hurricanes need a lot of …
Tropical storms are given names when they display a rotating circulation pattern and wind speeds reach 39 miles per hour (63 kilometers per hour). A tropical storm develops into a hurricane when wind speeds go above 74 mph (119 kph). Experts have developed lists of hurricane names for many of the major ocean basins around …
When a storm reaches tropical storm status, winds of 39 mph or greater, the storm receives a name . When the storm weakens to a tropical depression, it will keep its name. How are tropical storms named? Tropical storms are named by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) picked from a list that rotates every year …
