Tropical Storm formation

Question 1

why does wind spin

Answer 1

due to the Coriolis effect

Question 2

what are the ingredients for tropical storms

Answer 2

27 celcius ocean
50m ocean
5°-15° north and south of the equator

Question 3

how are tropical storms formed

Answer 3

When the ocean surface waters reaches at least 27°C due to solar heating, the warm air above the water rises quickly, causing an area of very low pressure.
As the air rises quickly more warm moist air is drawn upwards from above the ocean creating strong winds.
The rising warm air spirals upward and cools. The water vapour it carries condenses and forms cumulonimbus clouds.
These cumulonimbus clouds form the eye wall of the storm.

Question 4

where are tropical storms mostly found

Answer 4

ropical regions between 5° and 30° north and south of the equator where the water is warmest.

Question 5

what are tropical storms measured on

Answer 5

saffir simpson scale which goes form 1-5 based on wind speed
