Answer 1

Each year is a different anount of hurricanes but on the Pacific Ocean there is about 14 hurricanes (that's form). Hurricanes rotate clockwise. The Saffir-Simpson scale, it's measured on a scale 1-5 property damage and flooding along the coast. Hurricanes get their names from meteorologist a long time ago from their communication about them being more effectively and to tell whether to stay more farther away from the hurricane. The calmest winds in the hurricane is the, Eye. Which the Eye is also called the, cyclone. The strongest winds are in the right-front side of the hurricanes center. Hope this helped!
