Operation Cyclone

In the 1980's, America was at war but not traditionally. America was not committing troops but was investing supplies and money to help defeat the soviets from invading Afghanistan. Many wondered what and how Americans were involved, but most of us knew that communism had to be stopped. Charlie Wilson's War movie portrayed the events during the 1980's and how a Texas congressman succeeded to defeat the soviets. Charlie Wilson's War, otherwise known as Operation Cyclone, is a movie telling the incredible story of secret CIA operation that changed history. In 1979, the Soviet Union started a war that devastated the people as well as the land of Afghanistan. During the war, the United States would not oppose the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.…

Participation in the early response of Cyclone Nargis: Reflective case study Introduction Myanmar is exposed to multi-hazards such as fire, flood, earthquake, cyclone and landslide. It is situated in tropical climate zone and has three seasons-Summer (mid-February to mid-May), Rainy (mid-May to mid-October) and Winter (mid-October to mid-February). The official cyclone season is in monsoon period and the high potential of cyclone formation is in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon periods. Cyclone…

OUTLINE Hurricanes are enormous storms which have winds exerting great force upward and inward at very great speeds like 100 to 200mph. Every hurricane can last for over a week. A hurricane is a bit different from the usual cyclone. Cyclone winds have a very low speed of 9km. Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons are all the same but with a different name. Meteorologists predict the changes in the weather and use different tools to measure changing condition in the atmosphere. The most common…

The team called for 15.6 (±4.3) tropical storms, 8.4 (±3.0) hurricanes, and 4.0 (±1.7) major hurricanes, with a cumulative Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index of 141 (±58).[3] Two days later, Colorado State University issued its first extended-range forecast for the 2011 season. In its report, the organization predicted an above-average hurricane season with 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes. In addition, the team expected an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) value of…

A hurricane is a heavy storm with severe winds. It is also called a tropical cyclone, it forms over tropical or subtropical waters (National Ocean Service, 2017). According to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane wind scale, a hurricane winds are rated on a 1 to 5 category (National Ocean Service, 2017). A natural disaster is a major event that takes place from natural processes of Earth. A hurricane is considered a natural disaster that happened in my community and the disaster that happened in my…

Chopin talks about the air out side as “The leaves were so still that even Bibi knew it was going to rain.” As she was sewing by the window she realized how hot and dark it had gotten. “The rain beat upon the low, shingled roof with a force and clatter that threatened to break an entrance and deluge them there.” She was scared for her husband and son and hoped they had found shelter from the cyclone. As she was standing by the window the rain was coming down in sheets, and lightning struck the…

will explain the differences between atmospheric, hydrologic, and geologic and manmade hazards. Additionally, this paper will discuss some examples of both natural and manmade hazards. As mentioned, natural hazards occurs through atmospheric, hydrologic, and geologic hazards. Atmospheric hazards are weather related. Atmospheric hazards are tropical cyclones, tornadoes, thunderstorms, lighting, and hailstorms, heat, avalanches, and severe winter storms. According to Islam and Ryan, a…

Hurricanes are one of the most dangerous natural hazards to people and the environment. These storms can cause great damage in less than a week and can cause terrible financial difficulties after! A hurricane is just a huge rotating storm centered around an area of very low pressure with strong winds that can exceed 74 miles per hour. Hurricanes use simple air convection to turn wind into a destructive device. A hurricane is formed only over warm waters near the equator. Tropical cyclones are…

Jalol Ikromi HIST 3121-03 Final Paper In June 1941 Nazi attack on Soviet Union started, and to due economic turmoil and Stalin’s reign of terror, Soviet Union forces were weak and were unable to oppose a surprised German invasion, therefore Germany was had early success which hurt Soviet forces even more.
