Part 7/8:
Once these conditions are met, warm moist air rises from the ocean surface, creating a low-pressure zone beneath. As air rushes in to fill this low pressure, it warms and rises, forming clouds and storm systems. This process feeds the storm, causing it to spin more rapidly and grow larger as long as it remains over warm water. The heat energy from the ocean essentially powers the storm, making the Pacific Ocean particularly prone to generating numerous and powerful tropical cyclones.
