When the air above the warm ocean water is warm. It evaporates as water vapor. The vapor is like fuel to the hurricanes. This is why Hurricanes get stronger over warm waters, and weakens over land.
When the air above the warm ocean water is warmed and evaporated in the form of water vapors. These vapors act as a fuel for the hurricane formation as it is strengthened by the latent heat released by condensation of the vast amounts of water vapor.
