Presentation transcript:

Hurricanes are the biggest, scariest and most destructive storms on the Earth. There are about 10 hurricanes around the world each year and they all start over warm, tropical oceans.

The wind can make waves as tall as a skyscraper!

Hurricanes only break up on reaching cold water or land. People suffer from hurricanes in Asia ( in Japan, China, the Russian Federation, the Philippines) and in North America (the USA).

Drought and floods can be caused because of hurricanes. Although hurricanes can cause a lot of damage, they are important because they transfer heat and energy from the equator to the poles.

Hurricane Katrina happened in New Orleans in It killed 1836 people. Hurricane San-Kaliksto took place in North America in It killed 27,5 thousands people.
