with a violent wind. A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone‚ the general term for all circulating weather systems counter clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere over tropical waters. When a hurricane is formed over the western Pacific‚ these hurricanes are called “typhoons‚” and similar storms in the Indian Ocean are called “cyclones”. There are three classifications of Tropical cyclones: Tropical Depression – is an organized system of thunderstorms with sustained winds of 38 mph. Tropical

Hemisphere? counterclockwise in Southern Hemisphere oceans because of the Coriolis Effect. 3. Which current could carry a vessel around the world without the assistance of any other current? The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC -- also the "West Wind Drift")‚ flows in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica‚ and nothing gets in its way. It’s the strongest current on Earth. People may be expecting else to take you "around the world" but that is the correct answer. Always flowing from west to east.

There were variations at times from my recorded data and what was recorded by these other sources‚ but that can be explained by many different situations. Some of the variations in wind speed for example could have been that my house was blocking more wind than in other areas it was recorded or that the temperature differences

In the fourth line the weather is described as quite bleak and desolate‚ “the cold winter winds had brought with it clouds so somberand rain so penetrating that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question.” (Line 4-6) Such a description evokes powerful imagery when associated as symbolic of Jane’s emotional state.

This expensive incorporation further allows the vehicles to be less affected by the incredible force produced by high wind tornadoes‚ making the vehicle possible to withstand extreme wind.

zero to 25 miles. The winds along with the low temperatures combine with the snow to create a blizzard. Blizzards usually last only few hours but you get everything at once. Blizzards bring wind‚ snow‚ and ice all at once; the blizzards are more spontaneous because there is not very much of a warning because the storm does not show how it is going to be until it arrives. Hurricanes are intense‚ rotating oceanic weather system that processes maximum sustained winds. Temperatures in a

Ishmael feels that Bulkington will now transform him into a demigod‚ due to his death at sea. The port would fain give succor; the port gives a false sense of safety‚ on a boat the lee side is the side facing the wind‚ the lee side of land is the port side.

heard of the hurricane I thought it wouldn’t be as bad as some people were prediciting‚ but as the storm approached I certainly changed my mind. As we sat in the house it became very real how bad the storm was going to be. It was scary to hear the wind howling; blowing the trees around‚ hearing branches falling and the windows rattling.

to the beach than they remove. This sand at the beach provides the source of sand to form dunes. Saltation Saltation is wind transporting the grains of sand. If beach sediment is between 0.25 and 0.5mm and winds are relatively strong (+16kph) sand moves up on to the beach. As sand bounces along the beach its impact causes more sand to ‘explode’ and get carried by the wind up the beach. Diagram 2

on the equator‚ winds may blow either counter clock wise or clock wise with respect to an area of low pressure? On the equator winds may blow either counter clockwise or clockwise due to the weak Coriolis Effect in this region. The Coriolis Effect is at its maximum at the poles and zero at the equator. 3.)
