​ STEPS OF HOW A HURRICANE IS FORMED

1. Warm ocean water(more than 80*f) provides energy for the hurricane and causes more evaporation making humid( Amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or gas) air and clouds.2.Winds coming together force air upward.3.Winds flow outward above the storm, allowing the air below to rise.4.Humid air rising makes the clouds of the storm.5- Light winds outside the hurricane steer it and let it grow.
