How Does Hurricane Happen?

A hurricane is a strong wind with a wind vortex whose speed reaches 120 km/h or more. Hurricanes can also be called very strong large storms. What is the process of forming hurricanes?

Hurricane form in hot oceans. Hot water, of course, will quickly evaporate. The amount of water vapor that comes from the oceans is very large. The water vapor then rises and forms cumulonimbus clouds. Within this mass of clouds, there was a very strong whirlwind. The vortex of the wind will get stronger, so that it spins and forms a hurricane.

Hurricane usually occur together with heavy rain. Why did it happen? Hurricane are formed from a collection of clouds. Inside the hurricane there are lots of overcast clouds. These cloudy clouds will bring down heavy rain. When a hurricane occurs, the sky will be covered with cloudy clouds.

Hurricane often bring down houses and trees, and can even blow away anything that is nearby. Therefore, when a hurricane occurs, it is necessary to take disaster preparedness measures, such as taking shelter in a sturdy building, avoiding tall buildings, such as trees, electricity poles, pamphlets, and the like.
