Hurricanes derive their energy from the thermal energy of ocean waters.

Hurricanes are one of nature's most powerful and destructive forces. But have you ever wondered where their power comes from?

A hurricane's formation is complicated, but it is primarily determined by three factors. To begin, you'll need warm water, ideally at least 80 degrees. The second component is moist air. Finally, converging winds are required for the formation of a hurricane.

The storm absorbs heat energy from the surface water in the same way that a straw absorbs liquid. Moisture forms in the air as a result of this.

The storm will become a hurricane if the wind conditions are favorable. The storm is powered by this heat energy. And the warmer the water is, the more moisture there is in the air. As a result, hurricanes could become larger and more powerful. Heat and energy transfer are depicted in satellite imagery.

Why is it important to have temperate biomes? 2 sentences
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Biomes play a critical role in the understanding of ecology because they help scientists study not only a specific plant or animal but also the role it plays in its community and the characteristics that it has developed to live in its environment.

Aquatic biomes are probably the most important of all the biomes. Their medium, water, is a major natural resource. Water is the basis of life, it supports life, and countless species live in it for all or part of their lives. Freshwater biomes supply us with our drinking water and water for crop irrigation.
