Do Hurricanes cool Ocean Mishkat Tauheed

Purpose �The purpose of my experiment is to see how hurricanes cool the oceans. I am interested in this experiment because I want to figure out how hurricanes cool the ocean and they can effect the ocean life.

Hypothesis �If the hurricanes passes through the oceans, then it will cool the ocean. �hurricanes need heat power to rise, they gain the power when they are passing over the oceans.

Independent variable �The independent variable is the temperature of the oceans changes when the hurricanes pass over it.

Dependent variable �I will be observing the hurricanes and how it can effect the oceans. I will be collecting data from the past hurricanes and will be checking their temperatures.

Constants �I believe that the ocean will stay the same because the hurricanes pass over the ocean.

conclusion �The conclusion that I came to was that hurricanes do cool the ocean. As a result my hypothesis was correct because I predicted that when hurricanes pass over the ocean it cools the temperature of the oceans. �The reason why my hypothesis was correct because when the storm is starting to build up, it does not have enough of a pressure to move forward. As the moist air from the ocean begins to rise it encounters cooler air which causes the warm water vapor to form clouds and make rain. The process is called condensation, which also releases the heat and warm the air that’s above the ocean, as a result the air becomes humid and that’s how hurricanes start.
