Presentation transcript:

Hurricanes are HUGE storms that occur in warm waters (like the Caribbean). They can cause great damage when they come onto land. But they don’t start out as hurricanes. First they are… To Review

A Tropical Depression is a thunderstorm that has wind speeds below 38 miles per hour. There is no “eye” … yet. Tropical Depressions

Tropical Storms A Tropical Depression turns into a Tropical Storm when its wind speeds reach 38 miles per hour. But…it’s not a hurricane…yet. Its wind speeds are still below 74 miles per hour. The “eye” is starting to become more clear.

Hurricanes A Tropical Storm turns into a hurricane when its wind speeds reach above 74 miles per hour. Its wind speeds can go up to 200 miles per hour! The “eye” of the storm is calm.

In Summary Tropical Depressions, Tropical Storms, and Hurricanes are ALL kinds of storms The main difference between them is their wind speed Tropical Storm WIND SPEED Tropical Depression Tropical Storm
