hurricanes
thermal energy of ocean waves
the temperature of the water below the hurricane
discharge between rain clouds and Earth
Coriolis effect
location where atmospheric convection results in a dry air mass
tornadoes form over land, while hurricanes form over bodies of water
How do the conditions for a tornado differ from the conditions for a hurricane?
