 What is a cyclone? How are Cyclones Formed? 1. Cyclones are severe storms that occur in tropical regions 2.They will occur in tropical areas where the sea is warm 3.The sea has to be at a temperature of at least 27C for a few weeks and a sea depth of 60m or more 4.The hot water will evaporate and rise 5.This causes a low pressure system in the area 6.The air will rise and then condense into clouds called Cumulo Nimbus 7.The warm water acts like fuel, it heats the air above it, causing storm clouds and heavy rainfall 8.They have high winds and large amounts of rainfall 9.It will form high cumulo nimbus clouds and can cover an area of over 1500km 10.The middle will have the eye of the storm (High pressure) and is surrounded by Low pressure 11.In the Northern Hemisphere the storm clouds will rotate in a anti clockwise direction. 12.The storm loses strength when it moves on land and away from the equator 13.Northern hemisphere has cyclones in May-November. Southern Hemisphere has storm Novembers to April. Hurricane animation Put the following statements in order to explain how hurricanes are formed 1.This causes a low pressure system in the area 2. Cyclones are severe storms that occur in tropical regions 3.The sea has to be at a temperature of at least 27C for a few weeks and a sea depth of 60m or more 4.Northern hemisphere has cyclones in May-November.

 Task 1; Watch the following clipclip You need to get 10 facts about the cyclone Task 2: Read through the following facts sheet Divide up the impacts into the following catagories Cyclone Nargis; Social ImpactsEnvironmental Impacts Economic Impacts Long term Short term Top Tip for A / A* Success; Students will be able to divide case study detail into social, environmental and economic impacts.

 Cyclone Nargis Key Facts;  Formed; April 27, 2008 and Dissipated; May 3, 2008 April May  Highest winds; 215 km/h (135 mph)  Lowest pressure; 962 hPa (mbar)hPambar  Fatalities; ≥146,000 direct, ~54,000 missing  Damage; $10 billion (2008 USD) $10.1 billion (2009 USD)USD  Areas affected; Bangladesh, Burma, India, Sri LankaBangladeshBurmaIndiaSri Lanka  75% of houses were destroyed in the capital city Rangoon  Rangoon Airport was closed for 4 days  The country relies on rice as an export. This was destroyed in the cyclone  There was a 3.6m storm surge, leading to extensive flooding  An estimated 2.4 million people were affected by the storm

 What impact do you think that it will have on the following people? Task For each of the different groups explain how they will be affected by the cyclone 1.A farmer in a rural area 2.A homeowner in Burma 3.A tourist sightseeing in the local area 4.The government in Burma Extension; Which of the different groups of people is going to be affected the most? Explain why they will be affected
