Question 11

how do tropical storm form

Answer 11

Warm water (27°C or more) heats the air above it, causing it to rise and create low pressure.

Warm, moist air rises, cools, and condenses into thunderstorm clouds, releasing energy that powers the storm.

The low pressure strengthens, and winds start spinning due to the Coriolis effect. If winds reach up to 38 mph, it’s called a tropical depression.

When winds reach 39-73 mph, it becomes a tropical storm with heavy rain. At 74 mph or more, it’s called a hurricane, cyclone, or typhoon, depending on the region.
