Storms occur when a low pressure system develops surrounded by high pressure areas, creating strong winds and storm clouds. There are 13 main types of storms including thunderstorms, blizzards, hail storms, and tornadoes. While storms can have negative impacts through flooding, fires, and wind damage, they also benefit the environment by watering plants, burying carbon in oceans, and allowing for faster plant growth.

2. What are storms?
A storm is any of a disturbed state of an astronomical body’s atmosphere .
Storms are characterized by strong wind but are often caused by heavy rain or
hail, or even both together. Storms also may be marked by strong
wind, thunder, hail or lightning, heavy precipitation like snow storms or rain
storms, freezing rain like ice storms , or it can be occurred by heavy strong wind
as in tropical storms, hurricanes and wind storms. Storms mostly lead to very
negative impacts to lives and property. For example: Storm surge, heavy rain or
snow that causes floods or road impossibilities, Wildfires, lightning and wind
shears.

3. How do storms occur?
Storms are occurred when the center of a low pressure
develops with high pressure surrounding it. The combination
of these opposing forces may create strong wind and storm
clouds such as the cumulonimbus cloud. Small localized
areas of low pressure can form hot air rising of ground
which results a smaller disturbance such as dust devils and
whirlwinds .

4. How many different types of storms are there?
There are 13 different types of storms and they are:
: Ice Storm :Thunderstorm
:Blizzard : Tropical Cyclone
:Snow storm : Hail storm
:Ocean storm : Tornado
:Fire storm
: Dust devil
:Wind storm
:Squall
:Gale

5. Are storms good for the environment?
Storms are really good for the environment due
to the fact that it buries tons of carbon into
the ocean. Storms create more rains and are
good for plants and you don’t have to waste
water from the taps to water the garden or
do it! It makes fresh fruit and vegetables. it is
also good because it makes plants grow faster
and gives us fruit and vegetables for us to live
a healthy life.
