    Hurricane Ike Research Paper

    Hurricanes can form very quickly and destroy communities in only a few days. Hurricanes are caused by warm, moist air being present over the ocean. The air rises up near the surface. The warm air rises so there is low pressure below. Air from nearby areas with higher pressure moves to areas with lower pressure. That air turns warm and moist and then rises. The surrounding air takes the place of that air. As the warm air cools, water in the air turns into clouds. The clouds and winds spin and grow, collecting the oceans heat and water from the surface (Erickson and Leon, 2017, p. 1-5). While the storm continues to grow it will reach different stages. At 38 miles per hour it is considered a tropical depression. Tropical depressions then become tropical storms and are given a name. Every six years a list of names is reused. These…

    Essay On Joplin Tornado

    The Joplin tornado has some common factors like other tornadoes. Tornadoes strike in the Midwest of the United States, where hot, wet air from the Gulf of Mexico and cold, dry air from Canada mix most frequently. Joplin hit on May 22, which is in the spring. Most tornadoes in the United States strike in spring and summer where the weather is warmer. The Joplin tornado’s wind speed was at its highest at an estimated 200 miles per hour, most tornado wind speeds only climb to about 150. Southwest Missouri was hit with a “multi-vortex” tornado, which is a tornado where two or more cyclones hide inside a wider wind tunnel. That kind of tornado is not very common, and that’s one of the factors that makes Joplin so well-known.…

    Tornados and Hurricanes

    There are a ton of differences between tornadoes and hurricanes. One is that tornadoes form on land and hurricanes develop over warm, tropical waters. A tornado only lasts a few minutes while a hurricane can last up to ten days. Since the hurricane is much larger than a tornado, a hurricane can release tornadoes and a hurricane gets a name after it is down destroying a place because it makes it easier to identify it. The "eye" of a hurricane can be up to 20 miles long and the tornades "eye" can only be a few feet in diameter. Tornadoes occur from April to June and hurricane occur from June to November.
