Effect
Impact on ecosystem
Plants and animals can be exterminated during hurricanes because of the devastating winds, storm surges, and flooding. Animals that rely on these creatures as a source of food may die if an alternative source is not found.
Agricultural impact
Hurricanes can mightily affect agriculture. For instance, the products of hurricanes such as heavy rains and strong winds can damage crops and kill livestock.

Cause
The collision prompts the warm water vapor to condense, eventually forming storm clouds and dropping back as rain.
As the process goes on, more warm moist air is attracted into the mounting storm, and much more heat is moved from the ocean surface to the atmosphere. This constant heat exchange develops a wind pattern that spins around a fairly calm center that mimics water spinning down a drain

Warm water, moist warm air, and light upper-level winds are the key ingredients to the formation of hurricanes.
