Hurricanes are formed when warm air above the water near the equator rises, resulting in low air pressure below it. Then the air with higher air pressure comes down to take the other air’s place. As this happens, the water inside the rising hot air forms clouds. All of this continues to happen in a cycle of wind and water. As long as the hurricane is being fed by water that is at least 26oC, the hurricane continues to grow. When the hurricane starts swirling faster and faster, and “eye” is formed in the center of the hurricane. (A picture of an example of what it might look like is very helpful, but I couldn't get it on the response space.)
