disaster - typhoon Typhoons are terrible natural disaster that brings storm and damage peoples’ property. It’s a tropical cyclone that develops in the western part of North Pacific Ocean ‚ generated on the sea. Maximum sustained winds are more than 32.6 meters per second near the typhoon center. As in the Atlantic or eastern North Pacific occurs‚ to achieve the same intensity of tropical cyclones‚ it is called a hurricane. Every year there are 80-100 typhoons in the world‚ and they have a huge impact on

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).

Introduction A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods‚ volcanic eruptions‚ earthquakes‚ tsunamis‚ and other geologic processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage‚ and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake‚ the severity of which depends on the affected population’s resilience‚ or ability to recover. An adverse event will not rise to the level of a disaster if it occurs in an area without

areas in the tropics‚ as well as the formation of tropical storms during the local hemispheric summer (north or south of the equator). Navigators in the age of sail learned to utilize the "trade winds" that blow to the east along the edge of the ITCZ. The ITCZ was originally identified from the 1920s to the 1940s as the "Intertropical Front" (ITF)‚ but after the recognition in the 1940s and 1950s of the significance of wind field convergence in tropical weather production‚ the term "ITCZ" was then applied

Natural Disaster What is natural disaster? A natural disaster is a sudden event that causes widespread destruction‚ lots of collateral damage or loss of life‚ brought about by forces other than the acts of human beings. General cause of natural disaster 1. Significant physical damage or destruction‚ loss of life‚ or drastic change to the environment. 2. Extensively defined as any tragic event stemming from events such as earthquakes‚ floods‚ catastrophic accidents‚ fires‚ or explosions

Hurricanes are large tropical storms with heavy winds. By definition‚ they contain winds in excess of 74 miles per hour (119 km per hour) and large areas of rainfall. In addition‚ they have the potential to spawn dangerous tornadoes. The

Hurricane Katrina An unexpected and a devastating event that forms over tropical or subtropical waters because of the extreme heat from the water and increases the intensity of the storm is called a hurricane storm. In the last few decades‚ we came across several hurricanes such as Katrina‚ Sandy‚ Ike etc. whose occurrence had a large negative impacts on the life of the human beings. In this essay‚ I am going to discourse the reasons for the occurrence of Katrina‚ its impacts on the life. Also‚ I

Earth in Danger Nobody can negate that a lot of phenomena has been changed in our world recently while wondering the reason of these changes. One of the main reason for a lot of change in our life is the rapped raise on temperature which is called global warming. Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century‚ Earth’s mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8

lightning‚ and rarely tornadoes. Flash floods are a sudden rise in water levels of a steam‚ river‚ or manmade drainage system. Lightning is an electrical discharge‚ and thunder is the shock wave lightning leaves behind. Hurricanes are cyclones that develop over warm tropical oceans. Tornadoes are cylindrical shaped cloud masses with very strong winds and powerful updrafts. All these weather systems are capable of causing severe damage to the community depending on how strong they are. Preparations in
