Literally a huge heat engine, a hurricane is formed by spirals of warm, moist air rising from tropical seas. As the heat-packed vapor spins increasingly faster, it converges toward the eye of the storm and is forced upward; meanwhile within the eye, the temperature rises and pressure drops. Acting like a chimney, the walls of the warm vortex continue to refuel themselves...
