A hurricane can bring great damage when it strikes the land because…. The dangers of hurricanes come from the winds’ movementġ8. We classify hurricanes based on the strength of their winds The lowest category of hurricane can cause huge waves We need a special device to measure hurricanes What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
In fact, tropical storms can also produce significant damage and loss of life, mainly due to flooding.ġ7. These are relative terms, because lower category storms can sometimes cause greater damage than higher category storms, depending on where they strike and the particular dangers they bring. A Category 1 storm has the lowest wind speeds, while a Category 5 hurricane has the strongest. It is measured by using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. Hurricanes are categorized according to the strength of their winds. A powerful hurricane can kill more people and destroy more property than any other natural disaster. This cyclonic circulation becomes weaker with height, eventually turning into clockwise (anticyclonic) outflow near the top of the storm.When a hurricane hits land, it can do great damage through its strong winds, heavy rains, inland flooding, and huge waves. At the ocean’s surface, the air spirals inward in a counterclockwise direction. Hurricanes are generally smaller than storms in mid-latitudes, typically about 500 km (311 miles) in diameter. It forms and intensifies over tropical oceanic regions. A hurricane is an intense, rotating oceanic weather system that has maximum continued winds exceeding 119 km/hr (74 mph).
