woods and found himself in the cavern of the winds trying to find refuge from the strong rain. The mother of the four winds introduces herself and the four winds start entering. They tell their mother and the prince what they have being doing lately. The last to enter is the East wind who says he is going the next day to the garden of paradise. He starts talking about the princess of the garden and suddenly the prince becomes interested. The East Wind invites him to come along on... ... middle

El Niño happens when something causes the water to fall back towards South America. The water travels up the South American coast and up to Cali...
updraft and the larger-scale horizontal wind. Within tornadic supercell, the horizontal wind exhibits strong vertical shear in both speed and direction, that is, wind strengths and veers with altitude, from south or southeast at the surface to southwest or west aloft. Tornado development requires a special mixture of atmospheric conditions and terrain, so tornados are most frequent in spring over the central United States. Threats of tornados are extremely high winds a powerful updraft, lesser vortices
The Beautiful Natural Environment of the South of France The south of France has often been described as having one of the most beautiful natural environments in the world. Many visitors, from painters to pilgrims, have found the pleasant Mediterranean climate to be both relaxing and inspiring. It is also a region that played host to some of the most lively social activity in the early 20th century. From Marseilles to Monaco (actually an independent country), southern France was a site of
will focus and explore how waves, tides, winds and mass movement processes can change the form of the coasts within our lifetime. The three key questions I will focus on are: * What are the energy and sediment inputs into the coastal system? * What are the processes that erode coasts? * How is sediment transported and deposited? I will conclude by describing and explaining factors influencing coastal processes and how they make up the South Dorset coast. The littoral zone is a narrow

circulation of the atmosphere. The equatorial belt of variable winds and calms ranges from 5 degrees north to 5 degrees south. This wind belt is characterized by weak winds and low pressure from the inter tropical convergence zone. As you go further north or south you encounter the Hadley Cells. Hadley cell circulation is caused by the movement of high pressure from the latitudes at 5 to 30 degrees north and 5 to 30 degrees south to low pressure areas around the equator. The movement of air
progress through the Atlantic Ocean with an upper-level wind and begin developing and forming in the southwestern Caribbean Sea. The hurricane formed when the tropical waves were moving anticlockwise as it grew to create a tropical depression in the Caribbean Sea. Between October 22 to the 6th of November 1998, Mitch took
150 km south of the border with the USA, finally dissipating near the city of Monterrey. During its most intense phase at the western end of the Caribbean Sea, Gilbert was estimated to have central pressure of 885mbar, and maximum sustained winds in its circulation over 150kt (knots) with highest gusts in excess of 175 kt. The central pressure outrivalled the 899 mbar of the Florida Keys hurricane of 1935. Gilbert, at that stage an un-named tropical depression with maximum sustained winds around
the Caribbean, devastating islands like Barbuda and St. Martin on September 6, where it struck with Category 5 winds that at times reached up to 185 mph. More than two dozen people perished, and over 90 percent of the structures were razed to the ground. Images released by NASA’s Earth Observatory show the once lush green islands appearing brown and barren, possibly because the high winds stripped them of all vegetation.But Irma was just getting started. After grazing Cuba and Puerto Rico, the hurricane
Kathryn Silveira Brooke Strumlauf Le Boy Geology Period 3 14 May 2015 Super Storms: Hurricanes Hurricanes are severe tropical cyclones that have winds greater than 74 miles per hour (120 km/h). Hurricanes form in all of Earth’s tropical oceans except in the cool waters of the South Atlantic Ocean and the South Pacific. To form hurricanes need an abundant supply of very warm ocean water and a disturbance to lift the warm air up and keep it rising. In order to become a hurricane the storm
storm trekked north-northwestward across the Gulf and became a stage 5 hurricane and maintained its strength before making landfall on the Mississippi Coast on the eve of August 17th. The devastating aftermath in the weeks to follow induced by the winds, surges, and rainfall took the lives of 256 people, and caused an estimated damage of 1.421 billion dollars. The development of the storm was initiated by an apparent tropical wave that had given way of the African Coast around August 5th. The cloud
The Boscastle Floods Heavy seasonal rainfall is a common feature of the climate of South West England and has been documented many times, sometimes it has little affect on the landscape and just drains away but very occasionally it has far more destructive effects. On the 16th of August this year, massive amounts of rainfall over the North Cornish coast caused a disaster on a scale that has not been seen since 1952. A flash flood devastated the small coastal town of Boscastle, this investigation
atmosphere. The winds begin to circle counterclockwise north of the equator or clockwise south of the equator. The relatively peaceful center of the hurricane is called the eye. Around this center winds move at speeds between 74 and 200 miles per hour. As long as the hurricane remains over waters of 79F or warmer, it continues to pull moisture from the surface and grow in size and force. When a hurricane crosses land or cooler waters, it loses its source of power and its wind gradually slow
earthquake. Taking thousands of lives a year. Hurricanes are known for deadly winds and waters. Washing thousands of homes and businesses away every times it touches down on land. As for the earthquake it has literally reshaped the earth with its vicious shakes and rumbles. Hurricanes can reach winds up to 160 mph and can give off more than 2.4 trillion gallons of rain a day. Hurricanes are Large storms with rotating winds. They form over the warm bodies of water and oceans, when the water and the
Earth, but they are very interesting (How). Tornadoes are destructive vortexes of very strong rotating winds (Severe). They appear to have a funnel-like shaped cloud that forms beneath a large storm system (Severe). Estimating over a staggering one-thousand, tornadoes happen annually (Severe). A fascinating matter based on tornadoes is that not all tornadoes are visible, but some tornadoes’ wind speeds form a visible rotating column of condensed water. However, a hurricane happens a little bit differently

The signalman described that at 7.09pm he witnessed the train signal to him from the south side of the bridge. It then entered the bridge, according to the signal, at 7.14. At 7.17 the signalman recounted
