sea action and¯oods are ranked as more signi®cant than winds. Tropical cyclones need the energy provided bywarm water vapour (sea waters of at least 27°Celsius). Usually they die out if they move inlandaway from the water vapour‚ or out of the tropics‚away from the warmth. This is why tropical coastalareas‚ such as the Caribbean Sea (CentralAmerica)‚ the north-west Paci®c and north-eastAustralia‚ between 5° and 15° north and south‚ arecommonly affected by tropical cyclones.

These bring maritime conditions‚ with abundant rain‚ to the coast of New South Wales and Queensland. 2.

TUNDRA The Tundra is the coldest of all the Biomes and being situated in the extreme north of the planet has desert like conditions. It has extremely low temperatures‚ poor nutrients‚ and short growing seasons. There is a very low precipitation of less than five inches a year which is coupled with strong‚ dry winds. There is a very large annual amount of snowfall in the region which surprisingly is advantageous to plant and animal life as the snow provides and insulation layer on the surface of

(2014) a hurricane is defined as‚ "A tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind (using the U.S. 1-minute average) is 64 kt (74 mph or 119 km/hr) or more”. Hurricanes are born 5°-15° latitude north and south of the equator‚ in the tropics. For a Hurricane to form and endure there needs to be very specific conditions; weak upper level winds‚ thunderstorms in order to moisten the troposphere‚ warm sea surface temperatures‚ capping inversion that are not too strong and persistent low

1. What are the causes of skin cancer? Exposure to abnormally high frequencies of light can potentially alter the DNA of a cell and turn it cancerous‚ the resulting cancerous cells are known as skin cancer. The most common cause is ultraviolet light emitted by the sun although it has been known to be caused by tanning booths‚ unusually high levels of x-rays‚ exposure to some chemicals and in rare cases the abnormal genes that cause skin cancer can be inherited by children from their parents.

and the extraction of wood. Currently‚ the biggest cause is agricultural expansion which turned the forest into pastures and cropland to meet the growing needs for food. A study shows that more than 80 percent of the new farmland created in the tropics between 1980 and 2000 came from forests. When they cut and burn down the forest to make it farmland‚ it creates carbon which increases global warming. The rainforest only cover about 7 percent of the Earth‚ but has about half of the species on the
