Hurricanes usually start as thunderstorms near the west coast of A) south America

B) northern Africa

C) north America

D) none of these answers

B) northern Africa

Explanation:

For a thunderstorm to form a hurricane, humidity in the air and ocean water is needed. The hurricanes that hit the US actually start as thunderstorms, that grow with the impacts of the ocean, warm air, and humidity.

When the winds from the east hit the dry part of Sahara in North Africa, the strong winds start developing. These strong winds eventually form strong thunderstorms that move from Western to Northern Africa first.

The ocean is rather hot, and its temperature and humidity give more strength to the thunderstorm and wind, making it into the storm.

If the storm is strong enough it will pick more humidity and water, adding more energy and circling faster, and becoming a hurricane.
