Hurricanes are powered by heat energy in the atmosphere and the ocean. Typically, one hurricane uses an amount of heat roughly equal to Z thousand atomic bombs. If the excess heat built up in Earth's atmosphere since 1850 went into producing hurricanes, about how many more hurricanes might we expect in the world every year?

In an year about 6 major hurricanes and 3 minor storms occurs.

Explanation:

Hurricanes are increasing in number and frequency to the increasing impact of global warming. As current research states that climate change in the tropics results in an increased storm frequency. The presence of extra heat in the air or the oceans form the stoma that leads to the production of such energy. According to o the 200-2007 data shows in the huge increase in the storm frequency and this suggests the impact of climate warming.
