Imagine the ocean as a giant bathtub filled with warm water. When it gets really hot, warm air rises from the surface and creates a kind of vacuum below. This pulls more water vapor up into the sky, making clouds bigger and stronger until they turn into a hurricane.
Examples
- A bathtub with warm water starts a big splash when you pull the plug out.
- A hurricane is like a giant whirlpool that forms over warm ocean waters.
- Imagine boiling water rising up and creating a powerful storm above it.
