Thought help: Hurricanes typically strive in warmer waters. - Help.com

Hurricanes typically strive in warmer waters.

If there is a constant heat source, would a hurricane grow or just last longer?

I don’t know why, but I was thinking about the Red-Eye of Jupiter; which is a hurricane. It occurred to me that if the oil spill was ignited, and merged with a hurricane: Would something similar occur? If so, I doubt it would last forever, since the oil source is limited. In such a scenario, I’m sure the toxins would be devastating.

I truly don’t believe the oil could be ignited during a hurricane, but it would probably worsen the contamination of the Gulf shores. I just thought this would be an interesting discussion. It would be nice to hear from all the resident Help.com experts.

Yes, strive means to struggle or try…thrive is the correct word. :)

Also, Im not sure if the Red Spot is a hurricane, because hurricanes are cyclonic (& low pressure) and the Red Spot is anticyclonic (& high pressure). Also there’s no water powering the Red Spot. Instead, it is powered by smaller storms merging together. In regards to your question: Most hurricanes span over 300 miles, which is significantly larger than the current spill. Because of this, experts say the impact on a well-developed hurricane will be minimal at best. The oil is not expected to affect either the intensity or the track of a fully developed tropical storm or hurricane. So the only thing that would happen is probably a lot more oil could be washed up on shore from the waves.
