Although it is unknown what the actual event that triggers the development of a
hurricane, there are several requirements without which does not occur.
1. Temperature at the sea surface above 26 C.
2. Humid air. Hurricanes do not start on land.
3. Rotation. In the northern hemisphere, the winds rotate in depressions in the opposite
direction to clockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, the direction is the clockwise
direction. Near the equator, the rotation of the earth does not produce any deviation in
the winds that blow in straight paths. Because of this absence of the Coriolis force,
cyclones never cross the equator and is not known to have been below the cyclones 5
latitude.

A place to start most of the cyclones is ZCIT (the equatorial trough, the area of low
pressure. This band is close to the equator where the rains are so frequent and was
associated with increasing heat, humidity and air important development of the
cumulonimbus. In the summer months, surface temperatures of the sea can easily
exceed 26 C, and at latitudes above the 8, converging winds can reach enough angular
momentum to form a Meteorological rotating system.

In this, the center or eye is a place of escape for vertical winds converge. The aim is
warm and humid air from a wide area, which is near the center, forming an area of low
pressure. To raise the moist air is cooled and expanded, forming thick clouds and
producing torrential rains.

When you reach a higher level, the winds are moving away in a spiral in the opposite
direction, and shared by a wide area.

A hurricane took the heat of sea water and turns it into kinetic energy, wind. Huge
amounts of energy are actually processed during the process, though, everything is
TIMES THAT ARE THE TORNADOS
Tornadoes generally occur in the transition zone between air masses
of polar and tropical, between 20 and 50 latitude, on both sides of
the equator, being uncommon in higher latitudes of 60, where the air
contains no humidity and temperature required for the formation of
this fensmeno and the equatorial region, where the atmosphere is
not necessary for the instability develop a severe storm of such
magnitude.
While tornadoes can occur along almost the entire year, there was a
marked seasonal variation which differs from the country and place,
its maximum occurrence during summer in midlatitudes (June, July
and August).
In the first part of aqo, March and April are more common near the
Gulf Coast of Mexico. As the years advanced, the central region of
the formation of tornadoes are moving further north to the United
States, the reason for this shift is related to the movement in the
same direction of air masses, associated with the development of
tornadoes.
Tornadoes can occur at any time of day, most frequently during the
afternoon between 2:00 p. m. and 8:00 p. m., situacisn this is related
to the maximum daytime heating of the earth's surface, because the
