A hurricane is a very powerful storm. It is a cyclonic storm, which means that it has a circular pattern within the hurricane. The name hurricane refers to storms that start over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes are called different names in other oceans of the world. For example, they are called typhoons in the northwest Pacific. They are called cyclones in most of the rest of the world. They all have wind speeds that are mostly more than 75 miles per hour. The winds move in a circular pattern. The central point around which the storm moves is called the eye of the storm. These storms usually develop in warm, tropical oceans. They take their energy from the seawater that evaporates. Hurricanes weaken as they move over land because they depend on the warm seas to continue to supply energy as the storm moves. Land also has a much rougher surface than the ocean. Land has much greater changes in elevation and surface. Hurricanes lose power when the winds meet the land's surface and cause friction.
