What is a hurricane? A severe Tropical Cyclone with winds greater than 74mph. It can be up to 600 miles across Each hurricane usually lasts for over a week, moving 10-20 miles per hour over the open ocean.

What is a hurricane? A hurricane gets heat and energy from the warm ocean waters. Evaporation from the seawater increases their power.

How does a hurricane form? Hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around an eye The center of the storm or "eye" is the calmest part. It has only light winds and fair weather. http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es2008/es2008page01.cfm?chapter_no=visualization
