Why do hurricanes often affect very inland areas when they land in the United States?

Part of the reason why the United States is strong is its good natural conditions. Because there are many plains, there are few major natural disasters in the United States. However, heaven may be fair, and you can't be without disaster. Hurricanes are natural disasters that the United States must deal with every year. There are five tornadoes every day on average, and there are 1000-2000 tornadoes every year. Therefore, the United States is called "the hometown of tornadoes".

So, why are there so many hurricanes in America?

There have been frequent hurricanes in the United States recently. This time, two major hurricanes followed. "Jose" followed "Emma" and rushed to the United States, resulting in the emergency evacuation of millions of people. The frequent occurrence of hurricanes in the United States is mainly related to its geographical location, climatic conditions and atmospheric circulation characteristics.

1. The United States faces the Atlantic Ocean in the east, the Pacific Ocean in the west and the Gulf of Mexico in the south. A large number of water vapor continuously flows from the east, west and south to the United States. There is more water vapor, which is prone to thunderstorm clouds. When thunderstorm clouds accumulate to a certain intensity, tornadoes will appear.

2. The central part of the North American continent where the United States is located is a U-shaped terrain running through the north and south, the Cordillera and Rocky Mountains in the west, the Appalachian Mountains and Labrador Plateau in the east, and most of the central part is a plain. It is convenient for the high-pressure airflow from the north and the low-pressure airflow from the south to drive in directly from the central corridor and merge directly, thus producing a powerful cyclone.

Canada is in the north of the United States, which is the birthplace of cold air. The collision of cold and warm air is prone to strong convective weather such as thunderstorms, strong winds and tornadoes. Every spring is the most frequent season of tornadoes in the United States, because the cold and warm air are evenly matched, and it is easy to cause tornadoes when they collide. In midsummer, the warm and humid airflow is relatively strong, the cold air is relatively weak, and the frequency of tornadoes is relatively low.
