How does the ocean effect (provide the energy for) the formation of hurricanes?

• Ocean water is warm and heats the air above it

• Ocean water is cool and cools the air above it

• Ocean water contains salt that reacts with air, changing air pressure

• Ocean water contains algae that make oxygen, changing the air's composition
