Ocean. Hurricanes form over tropical oceans; they need the warm air and the wind from the ocean to form. When a hurricane finally forms it spins in a circular motion and in the middle of the storm is where you will find the “eye” of the storm‚ the eye is where you will find the calmest part of the storm. Hurricanes have very low pressure systems. The storms usually have wind speeds of 120 km/h or higher‚ they can sustain winds up to 350 km/h.Florida’s hurricane seasons usually last between August and

A uniform flow vibrates a linear array of four cylinders affixed to piezoelectric energy transducers. Particular attention is paid to measuring the energy generated as a function of cylinder spacing‚ flow speed‚ and relative position of the cylinder

Tropical cyclones areoften accompanied by very strong winds (gusts ofover 300 kilometres per hour have been recorded)‚torrential rain (1800 millimetres in 24 hours havebeen recorded) and very rough seas. A storm surge can occur when a tropicalcyclone approaches or crosses a coastline. Thevery low atmospheric pressure and the stress ofstrong winds on the sea surface produce

This relates to when she talks about how humans are helpless on the inside and only able to “close the shutters” (21). The whistle of the wind‚ or “whine” (23) as Rich uses‚ cannot be stopped. The “zone of gray unrest” (4) in the first stanza is made black by the fourth stanza and readers realize that the storm’s threat is not only a physical one‚ but it threatens her mood. She remains calm

The air surrounding me is cold and the stench of death wafts with the wind. The lit sky I have previously clung to fades out in what seems like an instant‚ causing darkness to take over. Above me‚ not a star can be seen. Each of my determined steps claps against the chipped pavement‚ fearfully dodging the various holes waiting

The term ‘urban heat island’ refers to the localized increase in temperature associated with an urban area. The UHI is an example of unintentional climate modification when urbanization changes the characteristics of the earth’s surface and atmosphere. It was observed that the UHI effect might result in minimum urban temperatures being 5-6° greater than the surrounding countryside. In the case of London‚ mean annual temperature was 11°C‚ while the surrounding countryside was 9.6°C and the suburbs

Jenny Lazlo of the National Awareness of Erosion was interviewed by one of my team members and stated that “everyone likes waves but they actually contribute to the erosion of beaches. Formations of waves are caused by wind‚ the rotation of the earth‚ and deep ocean currents.” Water moves in circular paths perpendicular to the ground. Waves take sand from the depths of the ocean and deposit it on the beaches. They also carry little pebbles and stones‚ and smash them into
