Presentation transcript:

Let’s read!

Let’s answer! 1.- In what phrases does the author describe hurricanes as though they are living things? (page 322) “Storms roar”; “They are born”; “Feeding on warm, moist air”; “Fury of Hurricanes” 2.- Why do you think the author chose to describe the storms this way? (page 322) To put a picture in the reader’s mind of a living, moving thing. Maybe to make the readers think of a monster.

Let’s answer! 3.- Where and when do hurricanes begin? (page 323) They begin in warm tropical oceans, feeding on the warm, moist air during times of low pressure. 4.- How do hurricanes develop? (page 323) Warm moist air rises rapidly, cooling as it raises. The cooling causes moisture to condense and form clouds. The condensing gives off energy that powers the storm.

Let’s answer! 5.- What is the eye of a hurricane? (page 325) It is an area of low pressure in the middle of the storm where the air is calm. It is a hole in the clouds from the top to the bottom of the hurricane. 6.- Why do some places in a hurricane’s path experience the storm in two halves (parts)? (page 325) After the wind and rain from the first half of the hurricane, there is a calm period when the eye passes over. Then, the storm resumes with the wind and rain from the second half.

Let’s answer! 7.- Why do you think the author says that weather needs to be measured in order to be studied? (page 326) If you study the weather, you keep track of heat, humidity, wind speed and air pressure. It is to observe it and take notes. 8.- Why is a hygrometer an important weather instrument? (page 326) It tells how much moisture is in the air, so it helps predict if it is going to rain.

BONUS QUESTION 9.- What does “meter” mean in the names of the weather instruments? It means “ something that measures”.
