paragraph 1:, • why do tropical cyclones develop in late summer, • what is the impact of coriolis force and latent heat on the development of tropical cyclones, • discuss the stage of development of the tropical cyclone under research., • why can category 1 tropical cyclones be more destructive (damaging) than category 5, example of secondary resources:, tropical cyclones are intense, spinning storm systems, with low-pressure centres that can be vast in size. they, form over warm oceans and can wreak havoc when they approach the shore., as the name suggests, tropical cyclones and hurricanes occur in the world’s tropics. they require the difference in speed of, rotation of the earth at different latitudes to gather momentum as they spin, and they can form either side of the equator., cyclones are called hurricanes in the atlantic and eastern pacific, typhoons in southeast asia, and cyclones in the indian ocean, and western pacific around australia., [source: australiangeographic.com/topics/science-environment/2011/02/cyclones-facts-and-figures/], hurricanes, ten facts about hurricanes, 1. hurricanes are giant tropical storms that produce heavy, rainfall and super-strong winds., 2. hurricanes form over warm ocean waters near the equator., the warm, moist air above the ocean surface rises, causing air, from surrounding areas to be “sucked” in. this “new” air then, becomes warm and moist, and rises, too, beginning a continuous, cycle that forms clouds. the clouds then rotate with the spin of, the earth. if there is enough warm water to feed the storm, a, hurricane forms, 3. hurricanes rotate around a circular centre called the “eye“, where, it is generally calm with no clouds. surrounding the eye is the eye, wall – the most dangerous part of the hurricane with the, 4. most hurricanes occur harmlessly out at sea. however,, when they move towards land they can be incredibly, dangerous and cause serious damage., 5. the strong spiralling winds of a hurricane can reach speeds, of up to 320kmph – strong enough to rip up entire trees and, destroy buildings, 6. in the southern hemisphere, hurricanes rotate in a clockwise, direction, and in the northern hemisphere they rotate in an anti-, clockwise direction. this is due to what’s called the coriolis, force, produced by the earth’s rotation., 7. when a hurricane reaches land it often produces a “storm, surge“. this is when the high winds drive the sea toward the, shore, causing water levels to rise and creating large crashing, waves. storm surges can reach 6m high and extend to over, 8. hurricanes are also called cyclones and typhoons,, depending on where they occur. in the atlantic ocean and, northwest pacific they are hurricanes, in the northwest pacific, they are typhoons and in the south pacific and indian ocean, they are cyclones., 9. the largest hurricane on record is typhoon tip, which, occurred in 1979 in the northwest pacific. with a diameter of, around 2,220km, it was nearly half the size of the united, 10. hurricanes are given names by the world meteorological, organisation (wmo) so that they can be distinguished. each, year, tropical storms are named in alphabetical order according to, a list produced by the wmo. that name stays with the storm if it, develops into a hurricane. the names can, only be repeated after six year., natgeokids/za/discover/geography/physical-, geography/hurricanes/], strongest winds, thickest clouds and heaviest rain, hurricane irma facts, damage, and costs, irma damage could have been $300 billion if it hit miami., hurricane irma was one of the most powerful atlantic hurricanes, in recorded history. it was a category 5 storm when it made, landfall on barbuda on september 6, 2017. its winds were 185, miles per hour for 37 hours. an unofficial wind gust was clocked, at 199 miles per hour. these winds extended 50 miles from the, tropical-storm-force winds extended 185 miles from the center., its coastal storm surges were 8 feet above normal tide levels., above-average ocean temperatures of 86 degrees fahrenheit, sustained the storm. these temperatures are worsening due to, global warming., irma held 7 trillion watts of energy. that's twice as much as all, bombs used in world war ii. its force was so powerful that, earthquake seismometers recorded it. it generated the most, accumulated cyclone energy in a 24-hour period., irma's attack was the first time in 100 years that three storms, category 4 or larger hit the u. or its territories in the same, year. hurricane harvey devastated houston on august 25,, 2017, and hurricane maria hit puerto rico on september 20., president trump declared emergencies in florida, puerto rico,, and the u. virgin islands. on september 6, florida's governor, ordered residents of the keys to evacuate..

• September 6, 2017: Irma hit the Leeward Islands with winds

over 180 miles per hour. The Prime Minister of Antigua and

Barbuda described barbuda as "barely habitable.", • september 7: irma left hundreds in puerto rico without, power. it hit the northern part of haiti and the dominican, republic with 15 inches of rain., • september 8: irma remained a category 5 hurricane with a, wind of 175 miles per hour. it affected the turks and caicos, islands and the eastern bahamas. the storm passed over, waters warmer than 86 degrees fahrenheit. barbuda's, government issued a watch for hurricane jose., • september 9: irma affected the north coast of cuba, flooding, havana. winds hit approximately 150 miles per hour and waves, reached up to 36 feet. wind gusts of 55 miles per hour hit, southeast florida. the storm was downgraded to a category 3, but was projected to regain strength before hitting florida., • september 10: irma was upgraded to a category 4. it hit, cudjoe key, 20 miles north of key west, and then naples., miami didn't get the core of irma but still received life-, threatening conditions. the florida keys received, approximately 12 inches of rain and a 10-foot storm surge., rainfall averaged 10 to 15 inches., • september 11: irma was downgraded to a category 1, hurricane as it headed to tampa, where it left 12 million people, without power. irma was then downgraded to a tropical storm as, it hit georgia, where 1 million lost power. the state had, ordered people to begin evacuating on september 9., rubric for research task:, name: __________________________________________________, surname: _______________________________________________, grade: 12 _______, discussion topic: ________________________________________________________, ________________________________________________________, educator total moderator total, criteria marks, 1 2 3 4 - 5 educator mark moderator mark, poor attempt most relevant information most relevant information all required information.
