The reason we have weather is because...our Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees. The uneven heating and cooling of the different hemispheres creates weather, sometimes wicked weather. Hurricanes are probably one of the most violent storms on Earth. They form over the equator where the waters are warm. This warm, moist air is what fuels the storm which can become very devastating when they approach land and move inland. Hurricanes have other names depending on where in the world they are born. They are called typhoons, cyclones, severe cyclonic storms and severe tropical cyclones. Storms that form in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise, and storms that form in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise. The reason for the difference is because the Earth is tilted. Technology is helping scientists track these monster storms. Today meteorologists can help sound warnings when they see big storms forming. People can be evacuated from beachfront properties and low areas near rivers to get away from possible flooding. Even though we know a lot more about these monster storms they can still behave unpredictable and come in packing a huge punch!

I think hurricane should be the only name because it’s a little confusing for me.

I think that hurricanes are sad. People might die, or lose their home.
