Hurricane
Thank you for all your great questions from my first post. A lot of you seemed interested in Hurricanes. Well, today I will be talking more about Hurricanes.
WHAT EXACTLY CAUSES HURRICANES?
Hurricanes start when moist air from the ocean surface begins to rise rapidly, where it encounters cooler air that causes the warm water vapor to condense and to form storm clouds and drops of rain. The condensation also releases latent heat, which warms the cool air above, causing it to rise and make way for more warm, humid air from the ocean below. As this cycle continues, more moist air is drawn into the developing storm and more heat is transferred from the surface of the ocean to the atmosphere. This continuing heat exchange creates a wind pattern that spirals around a relatively calm center, like water swirling down a drain. So, mosit air and warm water mainly causes Hurricanes. That is also why hurricanes start in the tropics.
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF HURRICANES?
When a hurricane strikes a coastal area, it brings a number of serious hazards which include heavy rains, high winds, a storm surge, and even tornadoes. Storm surge pushes seawater on shore during a hurricane, flooding towns near the coast. Heavy rains cause flooding in inland places as well.
IS HUMAN ACTIVITES CAUSING HURRICANES?
Yes, it is. In fact, human activity is making Hurricanes much worse. One example is that sea levels have already risen because of global warming, and those heightened sea levels make storm surge levels higher, pushing more water onto land and creating even more flooding. The most important problem is: we are causing severe climate change that causes serious weather events. However, human still didn't care and continued to cause climate change, which eventually leads to more extreme weather events. So, I strongly encourage you to help stop global warming and climate change to decrease the possibilites of severe weather events in the future.
Bonus!
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HURRICANES AND TORNADOES?
The difference is that a tropical storm has wind speed up to 73mph, once it exceeds this then it become a hurricane.Tornadoes are usually very short and can last up to an hour, but a hurricane can last up to three weeks. A hurricane almost always forms over sea while a strong tornado usually forms over land.

Thanks, funny_fern. In future, please always include your opinion about the information you have found, as we really want to know what you think! You can find top tips for writing a post here: https://burnetnewsclub.com/issues/extreme-weather/the-discussion/new-schools-read-you-begin/

What exactly causes tornado.

thanks
I am sorry ,I mistakenly typed how hurricanes are formed instead of tornadoes

can this flooding caused by sea be controlled and prevented by the government and citizens of that country
This is an interesting point, what do you think? What might governments be able to do to help stop climate change and protect their citizens?
By making policies to plant more trees and making rules against the cutting down of trees any how.
The government should also make laws that will prevent its citizens from poluting their lands and seas.
Actually, it can be prevented by citizens if they are prepared before. But some of the ways require lots of money and it is not necessarily needed. Just make sure to secure your house doors and garage doors ( if you have garages ) and if you are told to evacuate immediately, don't bring anything. these are the basics you need to do to prevent hurricanes.

What I want to know is, why does it start and is there anything to stop them?

How does hurricane start ?

This is a really great piece of research, well done. I would be interested to hear more from you about how humans are worsening the weather? You also say that 'humans still don't care and continue to cause climate change'- do you think that's true or do you think some humans are trying to stop climate change? How are they doing that?

4.Funny fam- this extreme weather change are very Cold and change weather bring a very difficult situation for both animals and human.
. Flood are expected which cause rised of diseases to human and flash out food for wild animals.

The hurricane how does it destroy people

People could lose their homes or even get injured because a hard object hit them. Also, after the hurricane, they might not have enough food or supplies.

You are right. People cut a lot of trees nowadays. So they should stop people from cutting trees so that the hurricane won't harm us too seriously. Trees have a lot of uses from protecting us from natural disasters.
