They begin as a tropical storm. They also start over warm water off the

Central American and Mexican Cost. The center of the hurricane is called

the eye. The center winds move between a

speed of 74 and 200 miles per hour. They can also form near the Atlantic

and begin near Africa.

Warm air rises and cool air comes behind it to take its place. As the earth spins, the wind moves.

This shows how hurricanes forms in the outside.
