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 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.
