Wind power

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 like giant motors that use moist air as fuel, thus their reason for forming over warm…

million thunderstorms in a year and at any given time there might be two thousand thunderstorms occurring. Lightning, thunder, rain, and wind all are parts of a thunderstorms. Hail storms are considered a common storm too. From hail storms come hail and wind. The last storm that can be called a common storm is a snow storm. During a snow storm, there are racing winds, extremely low temperatures, and tons of snow. While those storms are seen as being common storms, other storms are uncommon and…

creates pressure, and different pressures create wind or breeze. Placing windmills near places that have lots of wind power, like oceans, valleys, and mountains is a good idea to get rid of pollutant in the air that causes people breathing problems. Differential heating…

the influence of a mid-level ridge, the storm steadily intensified to attain hurricane intensity by 18:00 UTC on September 29. The effects of southwesterly wind shear unexpectedly abated late that day, and Matthew began a period of rapid intensification; during a 24-hour period beginning at 00:00 UTC on September 30, the cyclone's maximum winds more than doubled, from 80 mph (130 km/h) to 165 mph (270 km/h), making Matthew a Category 5 hurricane,[1] the first since Hurricane Felix in 2007.[2]…

Wind is a fact of life here on the plains. It is with us all year round, from Amarillo to Albuquerque. This invisible force of nature can do significant damage. The roofers here at Quail Country Roofing have seen the effects of it all over the place. After a high-wind storm blows through, power lines go down, trees fall over, walls collapse, and signs go tumbling. And wind can do terrible damage to your roof also. We have seen whole sections of roof shingles stripped off of a roof deck.…

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…

the forecast recognized a typical tropical storm off the coast of Africa. The storm started on August 14, 1969 and continued through August 22, 1969. This storm took many by surprise when the winds began to kick in and destroy everything in sight. This storm started off as a tropical storm; yet, when the winds reached 97 km, they declared it a hurricane. In all, Hurricane Camille caused more than 200 deaths and billions of dollars was raised to repair damages. Causes: On August 13, 1969,…

back-packer. Efforts to locate him are underway, however the rough seas are preventing boats from searching the area until the storm clears. On land, the streets of Adelaide are littered with tree branches as the wild weather continues, the heavy rain and wind shows no signs of stoping soon. (photo of home, with tree collapsed on top) Southern Suburbs have been affected heavily by the storms. Homes in Noarlunga have faced devastation due to falling trees; part of residents Vincent and…

amounts of damage through fast winds, flooding, and waves. They may may not seem like much, but hurricanes can uproot trees, destroy homes, and kill and injure hundreds of people. Hurricanes are unique storms and form in an unusual way, they have interesting movement and location on the globe, and are destructive storms that take lots of preparing to survive unscathed. Hurricanes come in different forms and are unique storms. They are powerful storms that have high speed winds stronger than 74…

Have you ever wondered, like me, how one of the most dangerous storms, hurricanes form? They form near the equator over warm ocean waters. The waters need to be at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Hurricanes also require moist air and converging winds. Most hurricanes form off the west coast of Africa. They begin as thunderstorms that move out across the warm, tropical ocean. These thunderstorms are called tropical disturbances. Between 80 and 100 tropical storms develop each year around the…
