Cumulonimbus cloud

Wordsworth writes, “Which is bliss of solitude; and my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils,” (I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, William Wordsworth). Wordsworth creates a tone of sadness but shifts it to a more joyful atmosphere, but as he does he uses author’s diction to draw the reader in, because of this he starts the stanza off with loneliness to a blissful ending from…

Dorothy and William strolling down the lane, raptured by the sun and the beauty it brings. Desiring to put their experience into words, each doing so in their own way. Dorothy penned a journal to give an account of all they saw, William created poems in reflections of the time they spent. The question remains; did William steal the original thought from his sister to create his poems? Did the two work in tandem toward the same goal? Perhaps their works are separate pieces that should be admired…

“It's time I thought of myself” is just one on the many selfish comments Windrider makes in the novel Dragonwings by Laurence Yep. His self-centered decisions caused Moonshadow’s dream to be prolonged, but Moonshadow never resents him for it and instead admires him. The entire book is based on Moonshadow’s admiring perspective, so readers don’t see the self-centered side to Moonshadow’s father. Windrider gives into his selfish desires, ultimately disregarding the feelings of others and…

circular motion and this is called a cyclone. Tornadoes are big monsters formed by warm moist gulf air combining with cold canadian air. “A violently rotating column of air, pendant from cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud, and often (but not always) visible as a funnel cloud. (Howard 2). However tornadoes aren't always that dangerous when it comes to destroying things because we could get a f0 tornado and wind speeds might only get up to 40-65 compared to a f5 tornado that…

tornado, dark, funnel-shaped cloud containing violently rotating air that develops below a heavy cumulonimbus cloud mass and extends toward the earth. The funnel twists about, rises and falls, and where it reaches the earth causes great destruction. The diameter of a tornado varies from a few feet to a mile; the rotating winds may attain velocities of 200 to 300 mi (320–480 km) per hr, and the updraft at the center may reach 200 mi per hr. The Enhanced Fujita scale is the standard scale for…

thickness of the cloud determines whether it is a cold or warm cloud and whether the cloud contains ice crystals. Deep convective clouds, those of thicknesses much greater than 3000ft, lie over the 0o isotherm. Water droplets within the cloud freeze as they pass over the freezing point, and when they fall to the surface due to gravity they partially melt. Upward pressure from rising air then carries the droplet back up through the isotherm causing refreezing. In deeper convective clouds this…

Hurricanes are very strong and powerful storms that form over tropical ocean water. The larger they get the more destruction they can cause (Aboff & Sotirovski, 2012). Hurricane Sandy took place on October 22, 2012. The vast majority of the damage was in the Northeast coast of the United States of America. Not only can hurricanes cause lots of damage to houses and nature, but they can cause deaths, and financial problems as well. Hurricanes can be caused in many ways. The definition of a…

Additionally, the reason weak upper winds are favorable is because strong upper winds cause the top layer of clouds vanish (Guida). The hurricane is comprised of three parts: the eye, collar clouds, and spiral rain bands (Guida). The eye is the center of the hurricane with sinking air inside (Guida). The collars clouds are composed of thick cumulonimbus clouds. The boundary between the eye and collar clouds “is the most extreme in nature.” (Guida). A hurricane begins to dissipate over land…

and twist. Did you know it is actually calm inside the eye? There may be a few clouds and a gentle breeze. Some people have seen the inside of a tornado’s eye. They say that when you look up, it is like standing at the bottom of a huge pipe. The sides look like a stack of huge, ring-shaped clouds. These clouds are so thick that you can…

The violent winds inside of the cloud, so water droplets in the bottom part of the cloud are caught in the updrafts and lifted to great heights in the cloud where the colder atmosphere freezes them. Downdrafts of the clouds push the frozen ice and hail from the top of the cloud to the bottom. The smallest particles lose negative ions and become positive, while larger particles gain negative ions and become negative themselves. The results are a cloud with a negatively charged bottom and a…
