Of these, only about a half a dozen (2) generate the strong, circli
11、ng winds of 75 miles per hour (3) or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way (4) to the coast.

12、es hundreds-even Thousandsof miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly (7) over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds (8).

13、ut at the top (11). In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds (12). As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clockwise (13) motion.The average life of a hurricane is only ab
14、out nine days (14), but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricanes rainfall in a single day (15) would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months (16). Water, not wind, is the main source of death and dest
