out as tropical depressions then intensify into a tropical storm then furthermore intensify to hurricane strength (www.coft.edu n.pag.). Hurricanes mostly develop in the warm waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean near the equator (www.coft.edu n.pag.). According to How Stuff Works‚ “Most Atlantic hurricanes begin off the west coast of Africa‚ starting as thunderstorms that move out over the warm tropical ocean water” (science.howstuffworks.com 3). The thunderstorms are called tropical disturbances

Tens of thousands of people die each year due to hurricanes‚ tropical storms‚ mudslides‚ and tsunamis. For example‚ Hurricane Katrina in 2005 which killed over 1‚000 people. If the environment was as man-controlled as Mr. Stegner is assuming then this disaster would of been averted and many lives would

The Greenhouse Effect: This describes the purpose of a backyard green house‚ essentially trapping heat and moisture in a confined space to mimic a tropical climate. The thing is that a backyard greenhouse can be regulated‚ how do you regulate a planet sized greenhouse? When humans burn fossil fuels‚ they release greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and fluorinated gases like

the water in the air forms clouds. The whole system of clouds and wind spins and grows‚ fed by the ocean ’s heat and water evaporating from the surface. Hurricane Katrina began as a very low pressure weather system‚ which strengthened to become a tropical storm and eventually a hurricane as it moved west and neared the Florida coast on the evening of 25 August. After crossing southern Florida - where it left some 100‚000 homes without power - it strengthened further before veering inland towards Louisiana

These hazards can include a tsunami‚ tornadoes‚ earthquakes‚ and tropical storms which can turn into hurricanes. All of these hazards are formed simply by Mother Nature and can’t be prevented. Tornadoes are stemmed from strong thunderstorms and can produce large hail and high winds. I’ve learned that it’s when hot
