A hurricane in the Atlantic (or cyclone or typhoon in Asian waters) spiral forms a fractal and Fibonacci pattern.
A spiral itself is logarithmic in pattern, and therefore fractal in nature.
Therefore, the hurricane spiral also follows a fractal pattern and the Fibonacci pattern that follows the Golden Ratio in mathematics.
The Fibonacci sequence is found by starting a number sequence with 1+1 and adding the previous two numbers of the sequence together and listing the sum as the next number in the sequence.
The hurricane spiral follows a pattern that increases close to a rate of 1.618, which is the Golden Ratio.
Hurricanes use warm, moist, tropical air near the equator over ocean waters as fuel. This warm air rises, causing low pressure below. Then nearby warm higher pressure air fills the void of low pressure and in turn also rises upward. The risen air cools off and forms clouds of water droplets or ice crystals, often becoming a thunderstorm cloud. This repeating pattern produces the spinning storm pattern spiral. The thunderstorm cloud adds fuel to the hurricane as energy is released as heat from the storm.
