This map shows tropical hurricane tracks (spaghetti tracks) north and south of the equator. The questions that you are required to address to create a successful essay paragraph are: 1. Describe the two factors responsible for controlling where the hurricane tracks appear as shown. 2. Why are hurricanes tropical and not equatorial? 3. Notice that once initiated, the storms initially travel towards the west (follow path of black arrows). HOW \& WHY? 4. If they should drift into higher latitudes, the storms are pushed back to the east creating L-or J-shaped paths (follow path of black arrows). Describe the forces involved to shape these patterns.
