(5pts)In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic andCaribbean seas. Of these, only about half dozen become the strong, circling winds of 74 miles perhour or more that are called hurricanes, and several usually make their way to the coast. Therethey cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as soft circling wind hundreds even thousands ofmiles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carriedwestward by the southeast winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at thebottom of such wind, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, themoisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it, the heat is changed to energy in the form ofstrong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to move counter clockwisemotion.The life of hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we canimagine. The energy in the heat released by hurricane’s rainfall in single day would satisfy theentire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the mainsource of death and destruction in hurricane. typical hurricane brings to 12 inchesdownpour causing sudden floods.
