We know‚ of course‚ that the meteorologist says Spring begins the 21st‚ but we prefer to disregard that fact and believe that we already sense Spring riding upon the wings of the March wind. We have a premonition of little creatures stirring in the stone walls‚ and we pretend not to see Winter just peeping round the hedge with a gray cloud in his hair and frosty malice in his eye.

are tornadoes formed? Tornadoes form in unusually violent thunderstorms when there is sufficient instability‚ and wind shear present in the lower atmosphere. Instability refers to warmer and more humid than usual conditions in the lower atmosphere‚ and possibly cooler than usual conditions in the upper atmosphere. Wind shear in this case refers to the wind direction changing‚ and the wind speed increasing‚ with height. 3. Parts of a thunderstorm a) Updrafts/Downdrafts- Also known as rising and sinking

19.1 P.O. Air Pressure and Wind P.1:1. Swirling in complex patterns‚ air moves constantly across Earth’s surface.

hardest of times‚ one should continue to push forward‚ even if the “wind [pushes]” them away. The wind is trying to prevent those outside‚ especially Lutie‚ from accomplishing their mission/goals.

forces of nature that can be extremely destructive and devastating. They are of the most violent natural catastrophes ever‚ and both can cause great damage with their overwhelming windstorms. They both consist of very heavy rain and winds and have unusually high wind-speeds. Although they seem a lot alike and very similar‚ they have many differences. Hurricanes and tornadoes are both stormy atmospheric systems that can cause great destruction‚ but they differ in length‚ speed and intensity‚ and climatic

tropical storm with powerful winds and heavy rain‚ also known as a cyclone. Hurricanes and tornadoes are both storm systems that can cause a lot of destruction. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes but tornadoes generate faster winds. They both need warm and cold air to become a hurricane or tornado‚ but are different in the way they form. Hurricanes and tornadoes both have a calm area at the center called an eye. The eye of a hurricane is the calmest. The winds around the eye of the hurricane
