What is a storm? a violent disturbance in the atmosphere. Storms involve sudden changes in air pressure, which can cause rapid air movement. http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/weather-and-climate/severe-storms.htm http://www.monkeysee.com/play/25096-what-is-a-storm

TORNADOES (1) rapidly whirling funnel-shaped clouds that reach down from a storm cloud to touch Earth’s surface. Form from cumulonimbus clouds. Wind speeds can reach 500 km/h (300 mph) These are NOT predictable and usually last less than 15min.

http://www. timeforkids http://www.timeforkids.com/photos-video/video/tfk-tells-you-about-twisters-152191 TORNADOES

THUNDERSTORMS MOST COMMON form of severe weather. (2) MOST COMMON form of severe weather. Form when a cold front meets a warm air mass. Warm air is rapidly pushed up and form huge clouds. As the warm air rises, it cools and forms dense thunderheads.

THUNDERSTORMS https://www.brainpop.com/science/weather/thunderstorms/

HURRICANES (3) large swirling low pressure systems that form over tropical oceans. get their energy from the warm waters. start out as tropical storms that grow in size and strength.

HURRICANES http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/learning/player/lesson14.html wind speeds hit 120 km/h (74+ mph) the tropical storm is called a hurricane cooler air sinks over the land so they gradually lose strength and slow down http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/news/katrina-formation

Hurricanes are so large they can be seen from space.

Floods and Flash Floods http://wnep.com/2012/07/02/one-year-after-coal-street-flash-flood/ Happens when water overflows normally dry land. Excessive rain, broken dams, rapid ice melting. Most take hours or days to develop, but some happen with little warning. Floods cause a lot of expensive damage and are very dangerous! Kirstin Makos’s Dad (JML 6th Grader 2014/2015)
