<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - Hurricanes are considered among the most violent storms on Earth, and NASA explains that a hurricane depends on only two main components, which are heat and water.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Hurricanes originate over warm waters at the equator, where the air above the ocean surface absorbs heat and moisture, leading to the formation of air vortexes as a result of hot air rising from an area of low pressure to an area of high pressure.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> When this "hot air" rises high enough into the atmosphere, it cools and condenses to form clouds, creating a vortex of air and the growing clouds that turn into a thunderstorm.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Therefore, the basic requirement for reducing hurricanes is to control the increase in ocean water temperature, which is considered the main cause of increased hurricane activity, especially in the Atlantic Ocean.</p>
