Understanding Hurricanes: Formation, Structure, and Impact on Coastal Areas

Hurricanes are large storms that develop over oceans near the equator and can span up to 500 miles with winds ranging from 75 to 200 miles per hour. They feature a calm center known as the 'eye,' surrounded by powerful winds. The devastating winds and heavy rains often cause significant damage to islands and coastal regions. Understanding hurricanes is crucial for preparedness and disaster management, as their impact can be catastrophic for affected areas.
