Hurricanes develop near the equator, or doldrums region, where there is warm water and a low pressure. This is the area where you see convection, the rise of warm air that will often cluster together to form thunderstorms and will be replaced by colder air underneath. It is near the equator that we see the greatest amount of moisture evaporation from the ocean. The rotation of the storm is produced by the Coriolis Effect.

Answer 2

The scenario describes a hurricane. The appropriate answer is B. A hurricane is an intense tropical storm in the West Indies and in the Gulf of Mexico occurring between July and October. Hurricanes are accompanied by winds of over 120 kilometres per hour. A tropical storm is termed a hurricane when wind speeds surpass this value.
