  • Tropical Storms
    • Water begins to evaporate from oceans
      • Warm air begins to rise
        • This creates low pressure
          • Low pressure draws in the trade winds
            • These spiral and draw in moisture from the oceans
              • Moist air forms the storm cloud
                • Moist air cools and condenses
                  • This releases energy and intensifies the storm
                  • Cool air falls to create an area with calm and clear conditions
                    • This is the eye of the storm
    • Wind speeds at a minimum of 74mph
    • Water temperature at a minimum of 27°C
    • Water depth at a minimum of 60m
