A hurricane is a violent tropical storm with sustained winds of at
least 74 mph. it forms over warm ocean waters. Warm and moist
air moves towards the center of the storm and spirals upward. This
releases torrential rains. As updrafts suck up more water vapor, it
triggers a cycle of strengthening. This cycle can be stopped only
when contact is made with land or cooler water.
The whole hurricane can be described as a giant wheel lying
on its side. The hurricane spins and moves across the Earth's
surface at a speed of between 15 and 30 km/hour. When a
hurricane approaches, the wind rises swiftly, sometimes reaching
speeds of 160 km/hour or more. The wind blows inwards towards
an area of low pressure, by travelling in a spiral due to the Earth’s
rotation. When the hurricane strikes, houses may be blown down,
trees uprooted, crops damaged and widespread flooding may
also occur.
Hurricanes are known by different names in other parts of the
world. In the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, they are called
cyclones. While for those in Japan, Philippines, and the coast of
China, hurricanes are called typhoons.


Lightning is a sudden, violent flash of electricity between a
cloud and the ground or from cloud to cloud. A lightning
flash, or bolt, can be several miles long. It is so hot, with an
average temperature of 34,000 degree Centigrade that the
air around it suddenly expands with a loud blast. This is the
thunder we hear.
Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to
a great height. It forms a type of cloud called cumulo nimbus.
When the cloud raises high enough, the moisture freezes and
ice crystals and snowflakes are formed. These begin to fall,
turning to rain on the way down. This rain meets more moist air
rising, and it is the friction between them which produces
static electricity. When a cloud is fully charged with this
electricity, it discharges it as a lightning flash.


A veterinarian is a person who has studied to be a
doctor of animals. They take care of animals’ health.
Many pet owners use a veterinarian to help them take
care of their pets.
Some veterinarians take care of cats and other small
animals. Other veterinarians take care of larger animals
such as horses, cows, or large zoo animals.
If you have a pet at home, your pet has probably
seen a veterinarian. Veterinarians can help you decide
what kinds of food your animals should eat, what shots
your pet will need, and how you should take care of
your animals. It is important to take your pet to see a
veterinarian to make sure it stays healthy.
