Thunderstorm

Thunderstorms By Hiromi, Joanna, Coco and Emily Hiromi - Title Page Joanna - Introduction Coco - Identify Emily - Outline Thunderstorms follow 3 stages in order for them to form and occur. They are named the cumulus stage, the mature stage and the dissipating stage. This process of the 3 stages normally take about 1 hour, but, supercell storms are more dangerous and more stronger, and normally takes longer in the dissipating stage, as they last longer. The cumulus stage is also known as the developing stage, this stage is where the sun starts heat up the earth, and this heat ‘warms the air around it’ (windows to the universe - thunderstorm formation), and if the atmosphere is damp and humid, then, a cloud starts to form. The cloud will…

Thunderstorms come in all varieties, shapes, sizes, and destruction. There isn't just one type of thunderstorm. I can't cover all the different types, but the 3 main types of thunderstorms are multi cell, single cell, and supercell. I will cover these 3 main cells of a thunderstorm and how they work, and how they're different from each other. The first and smaller version of a thunderstorm would be considered a single celled storm. What is a single celled storm?, You may ask. Well a single…

Exploring a Childhood Concept - Thunderstorms What scares you? Concepts formed as a child often change as he or she grow into an adult; perhaps the ideas around magic or fairies. Other concepts such as fears are common, but can turn into debilitating fears or even phobias. Treatment for debilitating fears could improve children 's overall mental health, if left untreated they could lead to other disorders, such as anxiety and depression (Dingfelder, 2005). .In this paper, we will explore the…

Thunderstorms range in intensity from those that bring fresh rain after a blazing summer's day, to severe storms so powerful that large trees and sometimes houses cannot stand in their path. Of all the major types of natural disaster which can occur in Australia, severe thunderstorms have probably the lowest profile in the public mind. Yet thunderstorm activity is common in Australia and it is undeniable that storms are both expensive and dangerous. Severe storms are a constant natural disaster…

winds causing a great amount of damage they fall under wind-based category. Wind-based Violent Storms Wind-based storms main ingredient is wind. The storms that use wind to create violence are thunderstorms, tornadoes, and cyclones. Numerous of these storms exist prominently in certain areas of the world, but have the capability to happen anywhere. In Physical geography, geographers track storms and record the data for future review allowing us to see patterns in weather. With the data…

especially when the waterspouts are of the supercell variety. Waterspouts of the supercell variety share the same formation as the land tornado. Waterspouts not of the supercell variety can start off on the ocean and then move onto land, this can become dangerous if the weather allows the waterspout to gain momentum and develop into a tornado. A waterspout is created by a convergence of light winds, land breezes and ocean breezes (Kelly, 2015). As these breezes converge, the warmer air gets…

storm system." That is the definition of a tornado. In this paper, you will read about how tornadoes are formed, and how they can affect cities, towns, or even people. Tornadoes are, and can be, very strong storms. Violent rotating columns of air exceed 100 miles per hour and can reach up to 300 miles per hour. An average of 1,000 tornadoes spin beneath thunderstorms each year, and typically kill at least 60 people in the United States. Tornadoes have, at one point, occurred in all 50…

a lot of stuff, but it can do so in many peculiar ways. Even though there are many different storms and they are all formed in various ways, different storms can have the same effects, while other storms have diverse outcomes. Some storms that we see often we consider common storms. Although we consider them common, they are still very interesting with assorted parts to the storm. Thunderstorms can be seen as being common because there are an estimated sixteen million thunderstorms in a year…

planet. What conditions are necessary for a Tornado? For a tornado to form, the conditions must be just right and the first step to getting a tornado is creating a thunderstorm. Thunderstorm formation A few key ingredients are necessary for the formation of a thunderstorm. We will need lots of warm moist air low in the atmosphere, and something to force that warm air upwards. This is usually a cold front or an area of converging winds. Once that warm air begins to rise, it will begin to…

"The National Weather Service in Melbourne has issued a severe thunderstorm warning..." This is the start of the warning I read on my phone as I stood by the window of Club Cool in Epcot, occasionally glancing at the storm clouds gathering outside. I was on a three-day trip to Disney World with my family and determined to reach every attraction the park had to offer, no matter what it took. My mind was on the verge of changing, but at that moment, I measured my experiences by the number I had,…
