Explanation / Answer
For the formation of hurricanes need warm water moisture. Generally, hurricanes occur at Atlantic and Pacific oceans near to the equator. Initially, hurricanes begin as tropical storm, and then they turn into hurricanes by moving of high speed. The rising of moisture gets heated, and then twisted high in the atmosphere. The twisted moisture takes either counter clockwise north of the equator or clockwise south of the equator shows eye shape structure. Vertical structure of hurricanes is warm and developed vertically and horizontal structure of hurricanes is not warmer than vertical structure of hurricanes. Horizontal hurricanes contain fronts and moves with a high speed in horizontal direction.
