qHurricane tracks are affected by (1) subtropical high, (2) trade wind, and (3) Coriolis force.
qHurricanes typically form within the trade wind belt and normally moves westward with the winds.
q Due to the subtropical
high and the Coriolis
force, hurricanes tend
to move poleward.
q Eventually hurricanes
cross from the
trade wind belt into the mid-latitude westerly belt, and begin to move eastward.
