hurricanes, such as the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern Pacific Ocean, will be hit by more intense storms in the future if we are not mindful of how to slow down climate change. Hurricanes are formed when the moist air from the surface of oceans rise and meets cooler air as it rises. Then, the warm air condenses to form clouds, and since the warm air rose away from the surface of the ocean, it created a zone of low pressure at the surface of the ocean. In turn, this causes air from high pressure…
