Why can hurricanes form near or on the equator?

0

Because there is no spin created there. Storms in the Mid-Latitudes to the subtropical regions tend to have an angle, which allows for a spin or rotation to develop. No such things exist near or on the equator. There are rare storms such as Hurricane Ivan in September, 2004, which form in extremely low latitudes.
