Read the paragraph below and answer the questions that follow.

Moist air and heat are necessary for hurricanes to start and to keep on

going. As the surface of the ocean heats up, the water goes up into the air. This

warm air becomes moist. It starts to form a column. The air around rushes

toward the column and forms a spiral around it. The system is called a cyclone.

As the column of air becomes warmer, the wind blows faster. If the storm

reaches 119kph, a hurricane is born. Hurricanes often cover areas up to 300

kilometers wide. They may last a few hours or for two weeks. They cause heavy

rains that swell and overflow rivers. The strong winds produce floods.
