Hurricanes form **over warm ocean waters in tropical areas**. This is because warm water provides the necessary heat and moisture that fuels the development and intensification of these storms. Temperatures of at least 26.5 degrees Celsius (about 80 degrees Fahrenheit) are typically required for hurricane formation.

The energy of a hurricane primarily comes from **the Sun**. The Sun warms the ocean waters, which provides the heat and moisture necessary for the hurricane to develop and intensify. This warmth causes evaporation, creating a source of energy that fuels the storm.

The correct answer is: **The wind moves upward, causing rain to fall on the same side of the mountain.**

When winds blow toward a mountain range, they are forced to rise, causing cooling and condensation, which can lead to precipitation on the windward side of the mountain.

The correct statement is: **The air moves toward the water because the land cools off faster than the water does.**

During the evening, the land cools down more quickly than the ocean water. This creates a difference in temperature, causing the cooler air over the land to move toward the warmer air over the water, resulting in a pleasant breeze from the land to the water.
