In Jacksonville Florida we experience five major types of severe weather storms. The five severe storms that are experienced are hurricanes‚ 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

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 level convergence (Haby‚ n.d.). Now before a tropical system is considered a Hurricane it goes through different stages; tropical disturbance‚ tropical

Global Warming-Killing Earth’s Age Global Warming is defined as the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s Atmosphere. Since 1970‚ most of the increase has been in the oceans‚ which is about 90%. Global Warming also refers to the increase in temperature of the Earth’s surface. Since the year 2000‚ the surface temperature has increased about 0.8 0 C‚ which is about two third of the increase‚ when compared to 1980. Earth is getting warmer and warmer when days pass by.

antennas which are used for heating the ionosphere. HAARP’s radio beams excites or heats the ionized particles. HAARP was designed to probe 50k patches of the atmosphere with high frequency radio waves. The atmosphere is made up of three layers. The troposphere is from sea level to 16 km above the surface. The stratosphere includes the ozone layer‚ is from 16 km to 48 km. The ionosphere is 48 km to over 50‚000 km. It is electrically charged and surrounds the Earth’s upper atmosphere. The ionosphere is

Global warming falls under the umbrella of climate change. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) global warming is described as: “… an average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere near the Earth ’s surface and in the troposphere‚ which can contribute to changes in global climate patterns. Global warming can occur from a variety of causes‚ both natural and human induced. In common usage‚ "global warming" often
