how do hurricanes form A hurricanes form when two warms fronts meet over the ocean, B hurricanes form as a result of rising warm air and circulating winds, C hurricanes form when warm air over the equator mixes with cold air from the poles, D hurricanes form when winds circulate about a Colum of cool air

1 answer

The correct answer is B: hurricanes form as a result of rising warm air and circulating winds.

Hurricanes typically form over warm ocean waters when warm, moist air rises and creates an area of low pressure beneath it. As the warm air continues to rise, cooler air moves in to replace it, creating winds. The Coriolis effect causes these winds to rotate around the center of the storm, which leads to the organized circulation characteristic of hurricanes.
