If they form in the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning big wind. And if they are Pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun, meaninggreat wind. To be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter.</p><p> <span word="Hurricanes">Hurricanes</span> get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapor gives out heat as it condenses from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator . To make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical region.</p><p> <span word="Scientists">Scientists</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="determined">determined</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="heat">heat</span> <span word="given">given</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="process">process</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="water">water</span> <span word="condensation">condensation</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="high">high</span> <span word="as">as</span> 95 <span word="billion">billion</span> <span word="kilowatts">kilowatts</span> <span word="per">per</span> <span word="hour">hour</span>. <span word="In">In</span> <span word="just">just</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="day">day</span> <span word="alone">alone</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="storm">storm</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="produce">produce</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="energy">energy</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="industrialized">industrialized</span> <span word="nations">nations</span> <span word="need">need</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="entire">entire</span> <span word="year">year</span>! <span word="The">The</span> <span word="problem">problem</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="dont">dont</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="sure">sure</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="great">great</span> <span word="energy">energy</span> <span word="work">work</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="us">us</span>.</p>
