what is one condition that is necessary for a hurricane to form?
strong cold front
strong warm front
cold ocean water
warm ocean water

Explanation:

Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters. The warm water provides the energy (in the form of heat and moisture) that fuels the hurricane. A strong warm front is not the key condition; rather, the warm ocean water (usually at least 26.5°C or 80°F) evaporates, rises, and condenses, releasing latent heat which powers the storm. A strong cold front is not a necessary condition for hurricane formation. Cold ocean water would not provide the energy needed for a hurricane to develop.

Answer:

Warm ocean water
