Tropical storms usually move from east to west. which statement supports this fact? tropical storms follow the direction of surface water currents moving from east to west. tropical storms are low-pressure systems that get pulled toward high-pressure systems in the west. tropical storms form near the equator and follow the trade winds that blow from east to west. tropical storms require warm and humid waters that are more abundant in western regions.

Tropical storms are large systems of clouds in rotation, winds and storms. Depending on its strength, they can be called a tropical depression or a hurricane and depending on the location they can be called a typhoon (in certain parts of the Pacific Ocean) or simply a cyclone as in the Indian Ocean.

These storms are displaced by global winds called trade winds, which blow in the tropics (this is why are called tropical) from East to West.  For example, in the Atlantic Ocean, storms are displaced by the trade winds from the coast of Africa, where they generally form, and go West, towards the coasts of the Caribbean Sea and North America.

In addition, their movement is in accordance with the rotation of the Earth from East to the West, because of the Coriolis Force.

It is important to note that tropical storms can not form in the Ecuatorial region itself because Coriolis Force does not exist there.
