The word 'Hurricane' is the name given to nature's strongest storm.
|
A hurricane occurs when high pressure and low pressure masses of air come in contact with one another.
|
|
There is often a significant difference in temperature between the two masses.
|
One mass is warm, while the other is cold.
|
The warmer air rises, and the cooler air falls.
|
Likewise, the low pressure area slides down the sides of the high pressure area.
|
|
They swirl in and around one another, creating the beginnings of the storm.
