A hurricane is a large, swirling storm that forms over warm ocean waters near the equator. It features high winds and heavy rain that can cause catastrophic damage. When viewed from above, a hurricane looks like a large white vortex with a clear eye at the center. Hurricanes develop from rising warm, moist air that causes surrounding air to swirl inward and feed the growing storm. As they make landfall, hurricanes can rip off roofs, destroy homes and property, and lead to flooding and loss of life.

G8 k-12 Wind worksheet
The document provides information about hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes. It states that hurricanes occur in the Atlantic and Pacific storms are referred to as typhoons. Both hurricanes and typhoons must have wind speeds over 75 mph and are classified using the same scale from 1 to 5 based on wind speed. Tornadoes differ in that they occur over land and form from colliding air streams, while hurricanes and typhoons form over warm ocean waters and require a difference in air and surface temperatures.
Severe Storms
Hurricane Hugo hit Puerto Rico in the morning of September 17th, 1989 and then made landfall in South Carolina around midnight, causing significant damage as it moved through the state. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and contain heavy rain, strong winds that can reach 74-200 mph, and an eye of calm weather at the center. They start as tropical storms that grow stronger as heat and moisture rise within the storm system.
Seasonandpressure
High and low air pressure affects the weather differently depending on the season. The world experiences four main seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. Changes in air pressure are caused by the sun's rays hitting the Earth at different angles throughout the year, which affects temperatures and creates seasonal variations in weather patterns.

This document provides information about earthquakes, including their causes, types, and historical earthquakes in Indonesia. It discusses tectonic earthquakes caused by shifting tectonic plates and volcanic earthquakes caused by magma activity. The document also outlines tips for staying safe during an earthquake, such as taking shelter, avoiding hazards, and listening to official information. Historical quakes that caused significant damage in Indonesia are also mentioned.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy from the breaking of rocks, usually along faults. The elastic rebound theory explains how stress builds in rocks until rupture occurs, releasing energy in waves. The focus is the point where faulting begins underground, and the epicenter is the point directly above on the surface. Seismographs can record earthquake events and locate their origin. About 80% of earthquakes occur in the circum-Pacific belt due to plate tectonics, with the remaining occurring in other belts or within plates. Major earthquakes can cause damage through building collapse, fires, tsunamis, and ground failures.

Hurricanes
Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters and contain heavy rain, strong winds, and storm surges. They rotate counter-clockwise around an eye and require winds of at least 74 mph to form. Hurricane Katrina was the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history, causing massive damage when it made landfall in New Orleans in 2005 and flooding the city after levees failed, leaving over 100,000 people still in the city. It resulted in thousands of deaths and widespread destruction across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
Severe Weather
Tornadoes form from strong storm clouds called supercells. There are different types of tornadoes such as waterspouts, land spouts, and multiple vortex tornadoes. A tornado is formed when warm and cold air meet, moving in different directions at different speeds, creating a wall cloud that can spawn a tornado spinning at 35 mph or more. Tornadoes most commonly occur in Tornado Alley in the Great Plains of the US, where over 500 tornadoes are reported each year. The deadliest tornado in US history was the 1925 Tri-State Tornado, which killed 695 people as it traveled through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
Tornados
Tornados are powerful vortexes that form from storm clouds and touch down from the cloud with a narrow end, whipping at speeds up to 110 mph. They can destroy homes, uproot trees, and endanger people as they rip through an area with rain and wind. Tornados begin as clouds which then shoot down a vortex when warm air hits the cloud, forming the spinning tornado. One example is the 1999 Salt Lake City tornado that injured 80 people and damaged a building, disproving ideas that tornadoes can't happen in some regions.
Hurricane Hugo
Hurricane Hugo was a category 5 hurricane that formed over warm Atlantic waters near the equator. It destroyed almost everything in its path, putting people and cities in great danger, and causing millions in damage and repair costs from its strong winds and ability to knock down trees and destroy buildings. Hugo was one of the worst and most dangerous storms ever, with wind speeds over 120 miles per hour, and it was responsible for 82 deaths when it hit South Carolina in September 1989.
Tornado
Tornadoes are violent rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground. The strongest tornadoes can have wind speeds over 300 mph, destroying buildings, uprooting trees, and hurling vehicles long distances. On average, 1000 tornadoes are reported in the United States each year. Tornadoes come in different types including waterspout tornadoes over water, dust devil tornadoes that don't connect to clouds, and supercell tornadoes which are the largest and most dangerous, sometimes being over a mile wide and lasting for hours. While the exact formation of tornadoes is not fully understood, they typically form from rotating thunderstorm clouds called supercells.
ExtREMe thundER STOrm
The document discusses thunderstorms and provides details about their formation and characteristics. It describes how thunderstorms look with dark clouds and lightning striking in zigzags. The rain falls heavily, feeling like rocks on the roof. Thunderstorms form as cumulus clouds develop and air masses cool and vaporize, condensing into raindrops before lightning and thunder occur. The worst thunderstorm on record for the city of Kobe killed 4 people.
Weather
Hurricane Katrina formed in the Bahamas in August 2005 and traveled across Florida, Cuba, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, killing at least 1,836 people. It was a large storm with winds up to 175 mph that formed from swirling clouds in the center and eliminated everything in its path over the course of 7 days, becoming one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
Blizzards
A blizzard is a snowstorm with winds over 56 km/h and temperatures below -10°C that lasts for at least 3 hours. Blizzards form when snowstorms collide with warm air and begin twisting, and they can accumulate over 3 feet of snow and cause damage like cracking roads and burying cars, which sometimes results in loss of life. Key factors for blizzards include wind speeds up to 35 mph and heavy snowfall that reduces visibility.

A document discusses how hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and need storm energy, how hurricanes are steered by wind currents, and details of Hurricane Katrina which hit New Orleans in 2005, caused 1836 deaths, and caused widespread flooding and infrastructure damage through broken bridges and destroyed homes.
TORNADOES
Tornados are funnel-shaped clouds that touch the ground, can reach speeds up to 300 mph, and come in strength categories from F1 to F7. They form when winds at different heights blow in different directions and speeds, resulting in a funnel cloud that can demolish homes and throw people and animals miles away, causing injury or death.
Hurricane
This document lists the names of several hurricanes including IKE, ANDREW, CATER, CHRIS, DOLLY, DAVID, DENNIS, DEAN, DONNA, FLOYD, HUGO, HANNA, and KATRINA. The document was created by Timothy Boatwright-Johnson and appears to be a list of hurricane names.
Blizzards
1) Blizzards form when cold, moist air rises and meets warm air, creating clouds and precipitation like snow.
2) Blizzards can cause power outages by burying power lines, and trap people in their homes and bury vehicles and buildings under heavy snowfall.
3) To be classified as a blizzard, winds must reach 35 mph or higher and precipitation such as snow must be falling, bringing visibility down to less than 1/4 mile. Famous blizzards include the 2007 Saskatchewan blizzard which shut down all power in the region.
What Are Hurricanes
Hurricanes are powerful storms with heavy winds and rain, categorized from 1 to 5 based on wind speed and damage caused, with higher categories having the potential to destroy buildings and kill people. Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst hurricanes on record, killing over 1,800 people and causing $100 billion in damage as it hit several US states and islands in 2005 over the course of 8 days.
Severe Weather
Hurricanes are large tropical storms with heavy winds that form over warm ocean waters. They require warm ocean temperatures of at least 79 degrees Fahrenheit, moisture from the sea evaporating into the warm air, and wind patterns near the ocean's surface that pull winds inward. Hurricanes can last up to 8 days and become very destructive at higher categories, with Category 5 being the strongest designation for a hurricane with sustained winds over 155 mph. Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 storm, caused massive damage of over $100 million and loss of over 1,800 lives when it struck New Orleans in August 2005.
Snow Storms
Snow storms occur when large amounts of snow fall from the sky. The snow swirls around in clouds during blizzards. After a snow storm, areas can be completely covered in snow. Snow storms can produce several inches of snow and cause disruptions to traffic and school transportation on roads made slick by the snowfall, especially in places that do not often receive heavy snow.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are low pressure tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters with winds of 74 mph or higher. They can be categorized from weak to strong and cause significant damage by destroying crops, buildings, and killing people and animals through high winds, flash floods, and contaminated water. Hurricane Hugo formed in September 1989 and caused $10 billion in damages as a powerful Category 5 hurricane when it hit South Carolina.
Blizzard
A blizzard forms when warm, moist air clashes with cold air, causing a thunderstorm that produces snow and high winds. Blizzards can be dangerous due to low visibility, freezing temperatures, and strong winds that cause damage and endanger lives. The worst blizzard on record was the Great Blizzard of 1888, which killed over 400 people and spanned March 11-14. A severe blizzard has temperatures below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, winds over 45 mph, visibility below 1/4 mile, and lasts at least 3 hours, with potential snowfall of 12.5 inches in 24 hours.
Tornados
Tornados typically occur in the spring and can have wind speeds over 500 mph, high enough to destroy homes. They form when hot and cold air masses collide and spin, looking like twisting dirt. Tornados are very destructive storms that occur most often in springtime, killing over 100 people annually through high winds and property damage.
Severe Weather
Hurricane Ike was the third most destructive hurricane to make landfall in the United States, forming on September 1, 2008 off the coast of Africa and becoming a powerful Category 4 storm with winds up to 145 mph before dissipating on September 13, 2008. Ike caused over $32 billion in damage and was blamed for more than 195 lives lost, making it the third costliest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded. Hurricanes form when cold air passes over warm ocean water, causing moisture to rise and organize into a cylindrical storm system.
Earth-Science-Week-2-Part-2.2.pptx
The document discusses different types of winds and weather phenomena such as hurricanes. It defines wind as the horizontal movement of air from high to low pressure caused by uneven heating of the Earth. Local winds such as sea breezes and mountain breezes are caused by differences in temperature between land and sea or valleys and mountains. Global winds form large circulation patterns worldwide. Hurricanes are large tropical storms that develop over warm ocean waters and contain heavy rain, strong winds and storm surges that can cause catastrophic damage when they make landfall.
Stormy
1) The document describes experiments conducted to observe the eye of a hurricane created in a bowl of water. Paper clips and pieces of paper were placed in different areas and their movement was observed.
2) Key findings were that the area called the "eye wall" closest to the center of the hurricane spun faster than areas farther out, and that winds are strongest closest to the eye.
3) Safety precautions for hurricanes are discussed, including preparing an emergency kit, securing homes, and evacuating if instructed.

All about hurricanes
Hurricanes are intense rotating ocean storms with sustained winds over 74 mph that form over tropical waters. They develop from thunderstorms that move over warm ocean waters and require moisture and converging winds. The eye is the calm center surrounded by the eyewall with the strongest winds and heavy rain bands circulating outward. Hurricanes are categorized based on wind speeds with category 5 being the strongest with winds over 155 mph that can destroy buildings.
pd7 group4
Hurricanes are powerful swirling storms that form over the mid-Atlantic ocean, gaining energy from warm ocean waters. They require a combination of low atmospheric pressure, warm moisture from the ocean, and persistent thunderstorms with winds reaching 40 mph to form from tropical disturbances. Once a storm reaches hurricane strength, it can cause extensive damage from high winds, tornadoes, heavy rain, and flooding when making landfall.
Demolisher hurricane brochure
To survive a hurricane, stay away from windows and glass doors, close all interior doors, secure and brace external doors, keep curtains and blinds closed, and stay in a small interior room, closet or hallway on the lowest level of the building. Lie under a table or other sturdy objects for protection from debris. Some of the deadliest hurricanes in history include Hurricane Camille (1969), Hurricane Hugo (1989), the 1900 Galveston Hurricane, Hurricane Andrew (1992), and Hurricane Katrina (2005).

Tornadoes
Tornadoes form from severe thunderstorms called supercells. As wind swirls into the storm, a funnel forms that spins faster and faster, sucking more air and objects into its extremely low pressure area. Tornadoes can destroy houses, throw objects high into the sky, and rip apart everything in their paths as they touch down across parts of the central US, especially in an area called Tornado Alley. Different types of tornadoes include supercell tornadoes, dust devils, firewhirls, gustnadoes, landspouts, and waterspouts.
Hurricanes introduction
Hurricanes are tropical cyclones that form over warm ocean waters and are characterized by low pressure, strong winds, and heavy rain. They are known as hurricanes in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, typhoons in Asia, and tropical cyclones in other areas. Hurricanes require warm ocean waters, rising moist air that condenses into clouds, and circulating winds that increase in strength. The strongest hurricanes have winds over 74 mph and can cause devastating wind damage, heavy rainfall and flooding, and destructive storm surges.
Weather Phenomena by Ali Hussain
This document discusses three weather phenomena: tornadoes, lightning, and hurricanes. It provides information on how each forms and its potential impacts. Tornadoes form from rotating thunderstorms and can have winds over 250 mph, destroying buildings and flinging cars. Lightning forms in charged storm clouds and can damage electronics even from a distance. Hurricanes originate over warm ocean waters and have potential to be the most dangerous, causing widespread property damage, storm surges, and loss of life from high winds and flooding.
Climate: Hurricane Basic Detail
A Session to introduce the key ideas behind hurricane development and movement, including basic details on size, speeds and associated features
Hurricanes & Typhoons
Hurricanes begin over warm ocean waters as clusters of thunderstorms that develop rotating winds due to the Coriolis effect. As the storm strengthens, winds of up to 125 mph circulate around the eye wall with heavy rain and strong winds extending outward. When hurricanes make landfall, they can cause devastating damage through strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges that produce severe coastal flooding. Some of the worst hurricane disasters have destroyed thousands of homes and killed hundreds of people. Global warming may be increasing hurricane activity by creating more regions with warm ocean temperatures suitable for hurricane formation.
Brice - Hurricane Presentation
A hurricane is a large storm that forms over warm ocean waters and is characterized by heavy winds that spiral inward toward a low pressure eye. Heat from the ocean waters provides the energy needed for hurricanes to develop and grow as warm air rises and water vapor condenses into rain. Hurricanes weaken when they move over land because they lose their source of fuel from ocean evaporation.
08. Winds, Storms and Cyclone by Dilip Kumar Chandra
Air is a mixture of gases that exerts pressure in all directions. Uneven heating of the Earth's surface causes wind currents as warm air rises and is replaced by cooler air. Convection currents occur due to rising warm air and sinking cool air and help distribute the Sun's heat globally. Thunderstorms develop from strong upward winds carrying water droplets that freeze and fall as rain or hail, along with changes in air pressure. Cyclones form due to these pressure changes and can cause severe damage to life and property from high winds. Effective safety measures include early warning systems, shelters, and preparing necessary supplies.

This document contains a review test over natural disruptive events such as lightning, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, droughts, and more. It includes multiple choice and short answer questions testing knowledge of how these events form, their impacts, measurement scales, and key terms. For example, it asks how hurricanes are named (alphabetically), how they are ranked (based on 5 categories of wind speed), and vehicles used to monitor them (ships, satellites, airplanes).
Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, Hurricanes Oh My!
This document discusses thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. It describes the different types of thunderstorms like air-mass thunderstorms and severe thunderstorms including supercell thunderstorms. Tornado formation and occurrence are explained detailing how mesocyclones form and funnel clouds develop. Hurricanes are introduced covering their profile, formation from tropical disturbances, and decay when they move over land or cooler waters.
Weather patterns
Weather patterns are determined by the movement and interaction of air masses and pressure systems. Air masses develop over land or water and bring characteristic properties. Low pressure systems see the collision of differing air masses which can lead to stormy conditions as warmer air is forced aloft. Specific severe weather events like thunderstorms and tornadoes occur from atmospheric conditions like wind shear and differences in pressure that allow warm moist air to rapidly rise.
Hurricanes aqa revision
1) Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters when certain atmospheric conditions are present, including warm sea surface temperatures over 80°F, high humidity, light winds above the storm, and a pre-existing weather disturbance.
2) Once formed, hurricanes consist of an eye, eyewall with the strongest winds, and rainbands circulating outward.
3) Major impacts of hurricanes include strong winds, heavy rainfall causing inland flooding, and storm surge which is the most deadly hazard.
cyclone
Cyclones are rapidly rotating storm systems that form over warm tropical oceans. They are known as hurricanes in the Atlantic/Northeast Pacific, typhoons in the Northwest Pacific, and tropical cyclones in the South Pacific/Indian Ocean. Cyclones form through the rising of warm, moist air which causes an area of low pressure and draws in surrounding higher pressure air, fueling the storm system through heat release. They can cause extensive damage upon making landfall through strong winds, storm surge, heavy rain, and tornadoes.
Atmospheric Disturbances, Storms and Natural Hazards.pptx
This document discusses various atmospheric disturbances and natural hazards, including storms. It describes middle latitude cyclones, also known as extra-tropical or mid-latitude cyclones, which develop at polar fronts and travel along them, causing variations in weather. Hurricanes are also discussed, which are large rotating systems that form over warm ocean waters and can be extremely destructive due to high winds, flooding, storm surges and tornadoes.

Ashley ray blizzards
A blizzard is a winter storm with winds over 56 km/h, heavy snowfall, and low visibility lasting more than 3 hours. Blizzards occur when cold air interacts with regions of low and high atmospheric pressure, bringing heavy snow and strong winds that can cause whiteout conditions, sickness, damage from falling trees and power lines, and dangers from hypothermia or frostbite. The Blizzard of 1888 was one of the worst blizzards in U.S. history, dumping over 40 inches of snow with winds over 45 mph across many Northeastern states and claiming over 400 lives.
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms form when warm air mixes with cool air, causing precipitation like rain, hail, or sleet. Thunderstorms can cause damage through hail, heavy rain that results in flooding, and are accompanied by thunder and lightning. The document includes pictures of thunderstorms and discusses the key components of precipitation, hail, and rain that occur in a thunderstorm.
tornado
Tornadoes form when warm, humid air meets cooler air, causing the warm air to rise rapidly and begin to spin. The document discusses two famous tornadoes - the 1899 tornado in New Richmond, Wisconsin that was 3,000 feet long and 1,000 feet wide and killed 26 people from different families, and tornadoes can vary in size and duration, with some being more destructive than others by lifting cars, damaging property over 50 miles, and causing rain.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are intense, rotating oceanic storms that form over warm tropical waters and can have very strong winds up to 60 mph. They require warm ocean waters, atmospheric moisture from evaporation, and wind patterns near the surface to form. Famous Hurricane Hugo in 1989 was a category 5 hurricane with 140 mph winds that caused extensive damage as it traveled from the Virgin Islands to South Carolina over two weeks, destroying homes, cars, crops, and killing many people and animals. Hurricanes can cause major damage through strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding that can take weeks or months to clean up.
Tornadoes
Tornadoes form from storm clouds when hot and cold air mixes, creating a rapidly whirling funnel cloud that can touch down and cause extensive damage by ripping apart buildings, trees, cars, and homes with strong winds that vary in speed and direction with altitude. Tornadoes are rated on the Fujita scale from F1 to F5 based on the severity of damage caused, with an F5 being the most destructive.
tornados
Tornadoes are rapidly spinning funnel clouds that reach from thunderstorm clouds to the ground, causing mass destruction with winds that can send cars flying and destroy homes and buildings. They form when hot and cold air masses collide and start circulating intensely, with the force eventually producing a funnel. Some of the most destructive tornadoes include the 1953 Flint Beecher tornado in Michigan, which killed over 100 people and injured 900 with 100 mph winds that destroyed 20 homes.
Tornadoes presentation
The document summarizes tornadoes, describing their funnel shape and varying colors depending on debris. Tornadoes form from rotating thunderstorms when cold and warm air masses collide. They can rip apart buildings, uproot trees, lift animals, and destroy entire cities within minutes. Wind speeds often exceed 300 miles per hour and tornadoes cause rain, hail, and sleet. Some notable tornadoes include the 1953 Waco, Texas tornado that was a third of a mile wide and destroyed 23 miles of land.
Blizzard
A blizzard forms when warm, moist air clashes with cold air, causing a thunderstorm that produces snow and high winds. Blizzards can be dangerous due to low visibility, freezing temperatures, and strong winds that cause damage and endanger lives. The worst blizzard on record was the Great Blizzard of 1888, which killed over 400 people and spanned March 11-14. A severe blizzard has temperatures below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, winds over 45 mph, visibility below 1/4 mile, and lasts at least 3 hours, with potential snowfall of 12.5 inches in 24 hours.
Hurricane
A hurricane floods towns and cities, demolishes buildings, destroys crops, kills people and animals, and causes thousands of dollars in damage as it moves counterclockwise. It forms over warm ocean waters as thunderstorms wrap around the center, gaining heat and wind speeds up to 130 miles per hour with intense rain and humidity. Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest and costliest hurricanes, hitting New Orleans in 2005 and flooding the entire city.
Tornadoes
A tornado is a funnel-shaped cloud that sometimes touches the ground, destroying everything in its path. Tornadoes form from powerful thunderstorms called supercell clouds and can have wind speeds over 400 mph. They most commonly occur during the spring and summer months in parts of the United States.
Weather
Rain forms when water evaporates into clouds, condenses into droplets, and precipitates down as rain. Hurricanes are strong winds formed by heat at the equator that can erode rocks and dirt to form hills and mountains. Both rain and hurricanes weather rocks through erosion, moving sediment and contributing to landscape changes over time.
Hurricane Hugo
Hurricane Hugo was a powerful hurricane that hit South Carolina and other areas in 1889, destroying homes and buildings with its strong winds and heavy rain. The document describes how hurricanes form from tropical storms and develop a distinctive spiral shape with an inner eye of calm. Hurricane Hugo had maximum sustained winds of 160 miles per hour, making it a very fast and destructive storm, as recalled by the author's mother who experienced its impact in South Carolina.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are one of nature's most destructive forces. They can cause enormous damage through wind, flooding from storm surges and heavy rain, and other hazards like mudslides. Hurricane winds can reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters through a process where moist air rises, condenses into clouds and releases latent heat. Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Mississippi and Louisiana in August 2005, causing extensive damage and loss of life from high winds and catastrophic flooding.
Hurricane
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and gain strength from evaporation. They have powerful rotating winds around an eye and can cause dangerous storm surges and heavy rain that damage buildings, trees, and cars when making landfall. Hurricane Katrina formed in August 2005 and caused catastrophic damage when it struck the Gulf Coast of the United States.
Hurricane Charley
Hurricane Charley was a powerful hurricane that hit Florida in 2004. It made landfall as a Category 4 storm with winds up to 150 mph, causing extensive damage estimated at $16-19 billion. Over 150 people were killed and thousands more injured when Charley struck Florida as the strongest hurricane to hit the state since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. After forming in the Caribbean, Charley traveled through Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Cuba before making its devastating landfall in Florida.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and require winds of at least 74 mph. They can last 1-12 days and cause significant damage through heavy rain, strong winds, and storm surges. Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005 as a category 3 storm, causing over 1,800 deaths and widespread destruction across New Orleans through flooding and property damage.
Hurricanes!!
Hurricanes form over warm tropical waters when cold and warm air masses collide, creating a large rotating storm with heavy winds and rain that can cause extensive damage as it makes landfall. They typically include an eye and surrounding rain bands and can spawn tornadoes, leaving many homeless or injured as seen with Hurricane Hugo, a category 5 storm that hit South Carolina in 1989, lasting over 4 hours and leaving 50,000 people homeless and multiple injuries.

Hurricanes
- 1. Hurricanes By: Garrett Revell
- 2. What it looks like A hurricane is a huge storm with high winds and devastating forces It is like a swirling vortex of thunderstorm If you look at a hurricane from satellite it’s a like a big white swirling vortex with a eye in the center If you were to watch a hurricane without getting harmed it would be amazing
- 3. How it forms Hurricanes form in the ocean and near the equator Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes in to the low pressure area Then that new air becomes warm and moist and rises too As the warm continues to rise , the surrounding air swirls in to take its place forming a hurricane
- 4. What it does A hurricane as it moves swirls in a clockwise pattern and usually last at least an hour It can cause a lot of damage like ripping the roof and shingles right off the house/building , put a lot of people out of there homes, destroys property, and cause floods Like I said before hurricanes can put people homeless and cause many deaths and injuries
- 5. Other factors not covered There is different categories of hurricanes, but if it was as high as it could go it would be a category 5 which winds reach up to over 155mph These storms occur in the warmer waters in the ocean near the equator Before it is classified as a hurricane it is a tropical storm And if a hurricane is big enough it is named alphabetically
