Introduction: Every year from April to November, the National Hurricane Center issues Hurricane Warnings. It is important for the public to stay informed. This webquest will help you to learn more about hurricanes and how they are influenced by their environment. Your job is to investigate hurricanes and some factors to determine what might influence the damaging effects of a hurricane.

 

The Task: Using your own words, choose any credible online reference (www.dictionary.com), or use your text, and define a hurricane here.

· What is released when the warm water/air collides with the cooler and drier air?

           

       

· Watch the Dynamic Earth Hurricane simulation again, if necessary, and summarize what else you learned about  the conditions necessary for a hurricane to form.
