TYPHOON
What js a typhoon?
 A Typhoon is an intense area of low atmospheric pressure. Like all
low pressure weather systems observed North of the Equator, the air
rotates around the center of an area of low pressure in an anti-
clockwise direction (clockwise if South of the Equator).

What makes a typhoon?

 Typhoons are made over the ocean; typhoons are not made over
land.

 To make a Typhoon you need a lot of warm, moist air evaporating off
the ocean surface and rising rapidly, creating the area of relatively
low pressure - a weather system.

HURRICANES
What is a hurricane?
 A hurricane is a large rotating storm with high speed winds
that forms over warm waters in tropical areas. Hurricanes
have sustained winds of at least 74 miles per hour and an
area of low air pressure in the center called the eye.

How do hurricanes form?

 Hurricanes form over the warm ocean water of the tropics.
When warm moist air over the water rises, it is replaced by
 cooler air. The cooler air will then warm and start to rise. This
cycle causes huge storm clouds to form. These storm clouds will
begin to rotate with the spin of the Earth forming an organized
system. If there is enough warm water, the cycle will continue and the
storm clouds and wind speeds will grow causing a hurricane to form.

TROPICAL CYCLONES

What is tropical cyclones?

 A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized
by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric
circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of
thunderstorms that produce heavy rain.Tropical cyclonestypically
form over large bodies of relatively warm water.

How tropical typhoons develop?

 Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively

warm water. They derive their energy through the evaporation of
water from the ocean surface, which ultimately recondenses into
clouds and rain when moist air rises and cools to saturation.

FLOODS

What is a flood?

 A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually

dry. Flood scan also occur in rivers when the flow rate exceeds the
capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders in
the waterway. Floods often cause damage to homes and
businesses if they are in the natural flood plains of rivers.

How is flood caused?

 Why do floods occur? Flooding occurs most commonly from heavy
rainfall when natural watercourses do not have the capacity to
carry excess water.
What is flood and its effects?

Floods. A flood is a body of water that covers land which is normally dry.
They destroy houses and buildings, and carry soil away from valuable
farming land. Floods can also contaminate drinking water and lead to
diseases. They are often caused by rivers, but overflowing lakes and seas
can also cause flooding.

FLASHFLOODS

What is a flashflood

 A flash flood is a rapid flooding of low-lying areas: washes, rivers, dry

lakes and depressions. It may be caused by heavy rain associated
with a severe thunderstorm, hurricane, tropical storm, or meltwater
from ice or snow flowing over ice sheets or snowfields.

What happens during a flash flood?

 Flash floods occur within a few minutes or hours of excessive rainfall,

a dam or levee failure, or a sudden release of water held by an ice
jam.

THUNDERSTORMS

What is a thunderstorm?

 A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm or a lightning

storm, is a storm characterized by the presence of lightning and its
acoustic effect on the Earth's atmosphere, known as thunder.
Relatively weak thunderstorms are sometimes called
thundershowers.

How does it forms?

 The air cools as it rises. Water vapor condenses and forms cumulus
clouds. When condensation occurs, heat (latent heat/energy ) is
 released and helps the thunderstorm grow. At some point,
condensation high in the cloud (now in the form of water droplets and
ice) falls to the ground as rain.

Why do thunderstorms happen at night?

 Most thunderstorms occur later in the day because in the evening,

the ground is at its hottest, following an entire day of sun heating,
which causes warm air to rise and meet the relatively cooler air up in
the atmosphere, leading to instability.

STORM SURGES

What is a storm surge?

 A storm surge, storm flood, tidal surge or storm tide is a coastal flood
or tsunami-like phenomenon of rising water commonly associated
with low pressure weather systems. Its severity is affected by the
shallowness and orientation of the water body relative to storm path,
as well as the timing of tides.

What causes storm surges?

 One major cause of hurricane damage isstorm surge. Storm surge is

the rising of the sea level due to the low pressure, high winds, and
high waves associated with a hurricane as it makes landfall.
The storm surge can causesignificant flooding and cost people their
lives if they're caught unexpected.

What are the damaging effects of storm surges?

 A storm surge can do major damage to anything (or anyone) in its

path. The extreme rise in water levels and strong winds can cause
severe flooding, property damage, and beach and coastal highway
erosion. The life-threatening nature of storm surges is nothing to take
a chance on
 EL NINO

What is El nino?

 El Niño is a climate cycle in the Pacific Ocean with a global impact on

weather patterns. The cycle begins when warm water in the western
tropical Pacific Ocean shifts eastward along the equator toward the
coast of South America. Normally, this warm water pools near
Indonesia and the Philippines.

What is an el nino weather?

 El Niño is a weather pattern that occurs in the Pacific Ocean. During

this time, unusual winds cause warm surface water from the equator
to move east, toward Central and South America. ... However, in the
fall and winter of some years, these winds are much weaker than
usual.

LA NINA

What is la nina?

 La Niña is a climate pattern that describes the cooling of surface

ocean waters along the tropical west coast of South America. La
Nina is considered to be the counterpart to El Nino, which is
characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the
equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean.

What is la nina weather?

 La Niña is a weather pattern that occurs in the Pacific Ocean. La

Niña, like El Niño, is aweather pattern that can occur in the Pacific
Ocean every few years. In a normal year, winds along the equator
push warm water westward. Warm water at the surface of the ocean
blows from South America to Indonesia.

What are the effects of la nina?

 Warm waters in the eastern and central Pacific give rise to El Niño,
whereas cooler waters cause La Niña. These phenomena have a
largeimpact on global climate patterns. El Niño (“little boy”) develops
