11. Why are hurricanes dangerous. Use RACES to respond. Work as a group
Why are hurricanes dangerous? Use RACES to respond. Work as a group. Respond on one sheet of paper for the whole group,
Hurricanes are defined by their winds. And those winds unquestionably pose a major threat to coastal communities. Steady winds and even higher gusts can blow down electric-power lines, upend trees, and toss debris through the air. Whole buildings can be knocked down. The gusting, gale-force tempests can even transform branches and other types of debris into potentially deadly projectiles.
But storm dangers are not due solely to the speed at which hurricanes blow.
One of the greatest dangers that these storms pose to coastal areas is what’s known as a storm surge. As a tropical cyclone spins toward land, its winds can push seawater ashore. This may temporarily flood the land to depths of 1 to 4 meters (3 to 13 feet) or more. A storm surge can be especially dangerous if it coincides with high tide; this can push an even higher wall of water onshore.
