Tropical cyclone

hurricanes can drain water from the coastline, causing animals to stuck out of the water and die from suffocation. Similarly, the effects of this tropical storms in the wetlands, critical part of our environment, are terrible because they protect our shores from wave action, absorb floods, filter water, and served as a shelter for plants and animals. Furthermore, cyclones can affect other species of animals that are living in other ecosystems; for example, birds can be blown hundreds of miles…

Hurricane Camille Overview: Hurricane Camille was the third and most powerful tropical cyclone of the twentieth century.

45 damaging cyclones were reported in the coastal areas of Bangladesh from 1793 to May 1997; therefore the cyclone recurrent period becomes 4.5 years (Shamsuddoha M and Chowdhury R.K, 2007). Hasan. A et al (2013) identified the decadal distributions of cyclones that hit Bangladesh. Source: (Hasan. A et al 2013) Cyclones generally form in Indian Ocean and due to ‘Coriolis Effect’ and the funnel shape appearance of Bay of Bengal basin these hit the coastal areas of Bangladesh. Cyclones are…

warning sings. First of all, tropical cyclones are known by different names depending where in the world it occurs, for example, in North and Central America on the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean the storms are called hurricanes. Before it becomes a hurricane it has to pass through three stages. It starts out as a tropical disturbance because according to Wall and MSFC “hurricanes form over warm ocean water” and rain clouds start to form. Then, it grows into a tropical depression where the…

Hurricanes Hurricane Katrina was one of the most catastrophic hurricanes to ever hit the United States. A hurricane (also called Cyclones in other parts of the world) is a powerful, tropical storm spiral that results from low pressure systems. They are commonly found in tropical areas like around the equator. They are rain wrapped storms that cause massive amounts of damage to coast lines it comes in contact with. Hurricanes are one of the most powerful and destructive storms on earth. When you…

Water vapor is the “fuel” for a hurricane.The eye is a region of mostly calm weather at the center of strong tropical cyclones. The eye of a storm is a roughly circular area, typically 30–65 km (20–40 miles) in diameter. It is surrounded by the eyewall, a ring of towering thunderstorms where the most severe weather occurs.Because of the damage from a hurricane can result in loss of life and property damage.Another cause is the flooding. Some houses can get flooded by roof tops coming off when…

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…

Have you ever seen a hurricane strength? Hurricanes are dangerous because of their wind speed and its ripe tides. Hurricane season begins June 1st to November 3rd. Hurricanes forms as a tropical cycle, but then with its warm water it would make energy and form a hurricane. Hurricanes are dangerous because of their wind speed and the destruction it causes. Hurricanes have strong wind speeds. A hurricane has 5 stages of wind speed the lowest wind speed is 75 mph and it will strike people, live…

structures altogether. Both hurricanes and tornadoes occur in various locations, and at separate times of the year. A hurricane is classified as a cyclone, which is a rapidly circling storm system with a low-pressure center called an eye. The eye is warmer than the eyewall, which is the…
