Global Warming And Its Effects On The Coastal Areas of Bangladesh [pic] [pic][pic] GLOBAL WARMING: Global Warming is the rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere‚ including the surface air and oceans. In simple words global warming is when the Earth heats up. It is caused mainly due to increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. The greenhouse gases‚ include carbon dioxide‚ nitrous oxide‚ methane‚ water vapor‚ traps heat and light in the

(NAME) (NAME OF SCHOOL) Abstract The present essay includes a synthesis of four research articles discussing climate change related to tropical cyclones through various climate modeling methods. More specifically‚ the articles examine whether the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones‚ with subsequent global impact on climate‚ atmospheric carbon levels‚ and human population may be predicted through the current climate modeling methodology employed by the authors

thunderstorms‚ flash floods‚ lightning‚ and tornadoes. If we were to build in arena in Jacksonville then the chances that one of those severe weather storms will hit that area are quit high. Hurricanes are also called typhoons in the western Pacific and cyclones in Australia and the Indian Ocean. Hurricanes form over tropical oceans; they need the warm air and the wind from the ocean to form. When a hurricane finally forms it spins in a circular motion and in the middle of the storm is where you will find

Debris blinded Karlie as she tried to escape the horror creeping up behind her. It seemed like fear had caused her to forget that she had just lost everything; her home‚ her parents and her friends. A dagger pierced the layers of Karlie’s heart as a cyclone erupted from her sparkling blue eyes. She knew nothing would ever be the same. More than seventy years had passed since the first nuclear weapon was dropped on Hiroshima. Two hundred thousand innocent men‚ women and children perished. Since then‚

The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1‚ 1999‚[8] with the first tropical cyclone developing on June 11.[9] It was an above average season in which 16 tropical cyclones formed.[10][11][12][13] Twelve depressions attained tropical storm status and eight of these became a hurricane. Five hurricanes further intensified into major hurricanes.[10] The season featured a record-breaking five Category 4 hurricanes‚[14] later tied in 2005.[15] A persistent La Niña that developed during the

Floods are caused by incessant rains or cyclones destroy crops‚ houses and even crops. Cyclones are very common along the eastern coast of Andhra Pradesh and Orissa.

Ocean currents are the continuous movement of ocean water driven by forces acting on the water‚ including: wind‚ waves‚ the Coriolis effect‚ temperature‚ salinity and tides. The contours of the sea bed influence the strength and direction of the current. Surface ocean currents are generally

Abstract Scientific experimentation recorded in the Journal of Climate by Korty‚ Emanuel‚ and Bar‚ (2008) shows that the intensity‚ frequency‚ and lifetime of cyclones is directly related to the warming of the atmosphere‚ oceanic mixing‚ and the availability of a surplus of carbon dioxide. Cyclones are increasing in intensity but because of how few reach landfall and the lack of data related to landfall destruction no visible trends have been formed (Landsea‚ Pielke‚ & Emanuel‚ 2005).
