Sarah Sparks, MYP2

How, when and where are hurricanes?  Warm water and warm moist air are the two main things that cause hurricanes. That’s why the tropics get so many hurricanes!  Hurricanes start when the warm moist air on the surface of the ocean rises rapidly, where it meets the cooler air and causes the warm water to form clouds, which drop precipitation. As this continues, more warm air is drawn in. It creates a wind pattern that swirls and leaves a hole, the eye, directly in the middle.  The ranges of hurricanes are: - Tropical depression—wind speeds of less than 38 miles per hour - Tropical storm—wind speeds of 39 mph to 73 mph - Hurricane—wind speeds greater than 74 mph

How many hurricanes have we had in the last century?  Hurricane on 10 th October kills 4, 326 people  Hurricane in 1831 kills 1,500  Tropical Storm in 1887  Hurricane passes south in October in 1895  Hurricane in September kills hundreds  Hurricane passes north in 1916  Hurricane Janet hits in 1955 killing 35 and leaving 20,000 homeless  Hurricane Edith passes north in 1963  Hurricane David passes north in August, 1979  Hurricane Allen hits and causes 6 million dollars in damage in 1980  Hurricane Marilyn passes north in 1995
