Most fo the hurricanes that affect the east coast of the United States originally form over the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean in Summer (1). The warm waters of the Gulf Stream run along the east coast of the United States. This provides an environment which is conducive to the development of hurricanes. The basics of the formation of a hurricane are as follows. Winds start blowing in a circular motion. This causes hot, moist air to rise. Clouds are formed and the winds start blowing faster and faster. This forms a low-pressure zone. The surrounding high-pressure zones pull the hurricane towards them. As the hurricane moves, it either picks up speed or decreases its speed and intensity.
longitude has a difference of 4 minutes. So, 74o longitude will have a difference of 4 hours 56 minutes. Since New York is to the west of Greenwich, subtract 4 hrs 56 minutes from 12 hrs. to get the answer as 7.04 A.M.
I think we wouldn't feel so special anymore. I feel like as humans we think we are better than everything else that is living. But if we found intelligent life on another floating orb, it would open our eyes to and we would see that we aren't as special as we think we are. In other words, I think our ego would be forever hurt until we prove that we are better then they are in some way.
