How do cyclones Travel?
Cyclones usually travel over ocean waters on an average of 300 to 400 miles a day. They are the most strongest then, but when they travel over colder ocean waters or land, they will begin to weaken.
What places do cyclones mostly occur in?
Over warm, tropical waters, including the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Indian Ocean.
Converging warm winds over warm ocean waters are the starting point for what?
tropical cyclone
Do thunderstorms form over land?
Yes. Thunderstorms can form over both land and water.
Under which conditions is a hurricane most likely to form?
In late summer over tropical ocean waters
A group of thunderstorms over warm ocean waters are called?
Groups of thunderstorms forming over warm ocean waters are referred to as tropical cyclones, or tropical depressions. Cyclones fall into different categories depending on their severity.
Do tornadoes begin over the ocean why or why not?
Generally not. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms called supercells, which form under similar conditions to ordinary thunderstorms and as anybody can tell you, thunderstorms don't need to form over an ocean. That said, some tornadoes do form on the ocean.
What is a major cause of hurricane formation?
Thunderstorms organizing over warm ocean water.
A disorganized group of thunderstorms with winds over 25 mph?
tropical depression
Disorganized group of thunderstorms with winds over 25 mph?
tropical depression
Where do hurricanes produce?
Most Atlantic hurricanes start to take shape when thunderstorms along the west coast of Africa drift out over warm ocean waters that are at least 80 degrees. Several hurricanes have followed the same routes as the slave ships.

What are the ranges that tornadoes and hurricanes have to from in?
Hurricanes develop over tropical ocean waters usually between 10 and 30 degrees of latitude. They form most often in the western portions of the ocean basins as that is where water tends to be warmest. Tornadoes can develop almost anywhere in the world that gets thunderstorms, and have been recorded in climates ranging from subarctic to tropical. They are most common, however in temperate and subtropical climates over land.
