1. Hurricanes are considered the world’s most dangerous storms because they can produce extremely high winds that cause widespread destruction and can generate storm surges that lead to devastating flooding.

2. Additionally, hurricanes can lead to catastrophic damage to infrastructure, ecosystems, and human lives, making their impact far-reaching and long-lasting.

**Answer to Question #1:** Scientists create models from the data they collect about hurricanes to improve predictions of their paths, intensities, and potential impacts, which helps in better preparation and response.

**Relationship between climate change and hurricane formation:** Climate change can increase the sea surface temperatures, which provides more energy for hurricanes, potentially leading to more intense storms and altered patterns of hurricane formation and frequency.

**Predicting the severity of hurricanes:** Being able to predict the severity of hurricanes helps government agencies and first responders allocate resources, plan evacuations, and implement safety measures to protect communities and minimize damage.
