Hurricanes occur over warm oceans in the tropics where the water is 80 or more degrees
The sun heats the water evaporating it and causes it's power to make it's revolutions.
Hurricanes are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easter, European windstorms, and polar lows- making them called "warm core" storm systems

Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that cause devastating winds speeds, torrential rain and violent waves. They occur when damp, moist air over the North Atlantic, North East Pacific or the South Pacific Ocean rises and condenses. This can under the right conditions set up cyclonic system.

Hurricanes generally occur in a band around the equator. To be more precise, they occur between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn as a rule.

Hurricanes are truly massive in scale and are known to reach a diameter of 600 miles or more. The spiralling effect of the winds can see wind speeds reach anywhere between 75 to over 200 mph. In areas affected by hurricanes, there are hurricane seasons. The Atlantic season, for instance, is from June 1 to November 30. But for most people hurricanes typically are confined to the autumn months.

What is not always appreciated is the disruption a hurricane can cause at sea. In many ways, the storm surge of a hurricane is the most dangerous factor of hurricane.
