How dangerous are they? What type of destruction or devastation is caused by a hurricane? What happens in the aftermath of a hurricane? References - Graphics References -Text

What Is a Hurricane? Hurricanes are formed with large areas of the ocean become heated, and the air pressure over that area drop. This causes thunder storms and strong surface winds.

How Are Hurricanes Created? First, the ocean water must be warm enough at the surface. Second, sea water evaporation must combine with heat and energy and must be near the ocean for the wind to spiral inward.

Where Is The Eye Of a Hurricane? The eye of a hurricane is in the middle.

What Happens In The Eye Of A Hurricane? It is a 12-40 miles wide region that is clear and calm.

Why Do Hurricanes Move? Hurricanes are “steered” by the prevailing winds that surround the storms from the surface to 50,000 feet or more.

How Dangerous Are They? Hurricanes could destroy houses, crops, buildings, and kill people and animals.

Categories Table

What Type Of Destruction Or Devastation Is Caused By Hurricanes? People die, they get evacuated, and some go missing. Torrential rains cause mud slides and flooding.

What Happens In The After Math Of A Hurricanes? After hurricanes Katrina and Rita, residents of New Orleans are slowly retuning to their homes to begin the long process of rebuilding what was lost.
