The Science of Hurricanes
Hurricanes are massive storms that form over warm ocean waters, fueled by heat and moisture. As warm air rises, it creates low pressure, drawing in more air and forming powerful rotating systems. These storms can produce devastating winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges, causing flooding and destruction. The Saffir-Simpson scale categorizes hurricanes from Category 1 to Category 5 based on wind speed and potential damage. Scientists use satellites and computer models to track and predict hu...
