where do hurricanes happen the most on earth
Hurricanes occur near the equator where the water is warm. Warm water acts as their energy source. They also require a large enough basin to form and certain wind patterns that can initiate them. Most hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean (north of the equator), in the Indian Ocean, and in the Pacific Ocean. One notable place they donât occur is in the Atlantic Ocean south of the equator, even though it is warm there.
