A tropical cyclone is a rapidly-rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center‚ strong winds‚ and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain. Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water. They derive their energy from the evaporation of water from the ocean surface‚ which ultimately recondenses into clouds and rain when moist air rises and cools to saturation. This energy source differs from that of mid-latitude cyclonic storms‚ such

A tropical cyclone is a particular type of lowpressure system. It is called a hurricane in theUnited States and a typhoon in Asia. Tropicalcyclones are areas of warm‚ moist air risingrapidly. The upward ¯ow of air is de¯ected by theCoriolis effect (winds de¯ected by the Earth’srotation)‚ creating a rotation around a centralcore‚ known as the `eye’. Tropical cyclones areoften accompanied by very strong winds (gusts ofover 300 kilometres per hour have been recorded)‚torrential rain (1800 millimetres

the atmosphere. Rainforests are one of the natural wonders of the world. However‚ they are enticing as they produce lucrative materials‚ as well as containing large amounts of unclaimed spaces. Many of these temptations are too much for people as about 18 million acres of forest are cut down every year (Rinkesh). Recently‚ rainforests have encountered more trouble than ever‚ as people try to exploit the materials found within. Though many may not see the importance of rainforests in lives today

Saving the Rainforest If someone or something was in danger‚ would you do anything to help? Well the world’s rainforest are currently disappearing at a rate of 6‚000 acres every hour which is equivalent to almost 3‚500 football fields. If you have been unaware‚ rainforests are well on their way to extinction. Rainforest once covered 14% of the earth’s surface; now they cover about 6% and experts say the remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years. Commercial logging is the

In the rainforest ecosystem‚ everything is connected to one another. There is an interconnectedness existing in this ecosystem. To continue to function‚ the ecosystem depends on the interactions between the biotic and abiotic factors. An ecosystem survives by a combination of energy flow and matter recycling. To understand the interconnectedness of the ecosystem‚ food webs and food chains could be observed. Each organism depends on each other to survive and maintain their populations. In the food

Amazon In Need What do you think of when someone mentions the Amazon Rainforest to you? Some might say an exotic jungle full of some of the most unique plants and animals you have ever seen. Well this might surprise you but that exotic jungle you might be thinking of is getting cut down for multiple reasons at a shocking rate of 150 acres per hour. Well I’m personally here to say that cutting down this extraordinary gift of mother nature will in fact cause more harm than leaving

1 Title: The Marine Biome #2 Biome Description and Definition The Marine Biome is made of all the oceans in the world. It holds many diverse species in animals and plants and since it is so enormous‚ there is some species that have not been discovered yet. The ocean is a mysterious thing because it is different in each part of the world‚ the climate depends on the location and the location depends on what species are located in that part. Australia is home to the coral reef‚ where today it is

The worst impact deforestation has on the amazon rainforest is the loss of habitat for many important species. This has greatly impacted the habitats of species in the Amazon rainforest. There are about ten million species that have been discovered by man living on earth. More than half of these species live in tropical rainforests such as the Amazon. Many keystone species and apax predators have habitats in the Amazon. A keystone species is a species that has many important interactions within a
