Where does the formation of tropical revolving storms typically begin?

Tropical revolving storms, commonly referred to as tropical cyclones or hurricanes, typically form near the edge of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The ITCZ is a region where trade winds from both hemispheres meet, creating a zone of low pressure characterized by converging air and convergence of moisture. This atmosphere is conducive to the formation of storms due to the warm, moist air that rises, cools, and condenses, producing thunderstorm activity.

As this convection occurs, it can lead to the organization of thunderstorms into larger systems, eventually developing into tropical cyclones if the conditions are favorable (such as sufficiently warm ocean waters, low vertical wind shear, and adequate Coriolis force). The presence of this convergence zone provides the necessary energy and moisture for the storms to intensify.

In contrast, the other options do not provide the ideal conditions for tropical storm formation. For example, while coastal areas may experience storms, the actual initiation of these storms typically occurs in the broader regions associated with the ITCZ rather than right at the coastline. Deep ocean currents do not relate directly to storm formation, as they are primarily involved in the movement of water mass rather than in atmospheric processes.
