How Natural Disaster Are Destructive
Natural Disasters are very unpredictable as well as devastating to us as a human race. You never know when they will occur or where so this makes it very difficult to prepare for. You never really know what damage will occur of how long the clean up or repairs will take. We all try to prepare for Natural disasters however this is a very hard thing to fully prepare for. Many people are dying every year from natural disasters because they are so unpredictable. It appears the storms are only getting stronger and fiercer in time. The Wikipedia defines the term Natural disaster quite nicely. A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from a natural processes of the Earth.
In the central part of the United States tornadoes are a threat to many people. They come in with a roar and leave nothing in their paths but devastation. We call the busiest places for these storms tornado alley or the Great Plains. Tornadoes need warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool dry air from Canada to make these monsters. When the two different types of air meet it create instability in the atmosphere. In 2017, alone 27 people have been killed by tornadoes and lots of injuries. Most people who passed lived in mobile homes which are the most unstable place to be. Many people lose everything they own in a split second from these storms. You are very lucky to live if you have ever encountered one.
The devastating effect of a Hurricane have
Tornados are one of the most destructive and devastating natural forces on Earth. When a tornado is fully created, wind speeds can reach up to more than 300 mph (483 km/h). Most tornadoes that occur are between the Appalachians and Rocky Mountains, but tornados can happen where ever the conditions are right. 90% of tornadoes that happen in the United States, happens in the Central United States. Even though scientist have not yet understood how tornadoes are formed, they’ve developed a theory that consist of the process and conditions of which a tornado must have to form.
Some tornado specifics can be interesting, some can be boring but these are the fascinating ones. There is a part of land in the Midwestern U.s where more than 1,000 tornadoes form. Most tornadoes only stay on the ground for less than five minutes and some tornadoes stand still while others can go on devastating speeds. The destruction tornadoes make is mostly from the debris that it picks up. More than half of tornadoes are weak and don’t cause many
What is a tornado?A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Because wind is invisible, it is hard to see a tornado unless it forms a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, dust and debris. Tornadoes are the most violent of all atmospheric storms.Where do tornadoes occur?Tornadoes occur in many parts of the world, including Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America. Even New Zealand reports about 20 tornadoes each year. Two of the highest concentrations of tornadoes outside the U.S. are Argentina and Bangladesh. How many tornadoes occur in the U.S. each year?About 1,200 tornadoes hit the U.S. yearly. Since official tornado records only date back to 1950,
Things inside the tornado does not get much damage. Things that are thrown aside or hit by debris get much more damage. Some people could get killed, and some are very injured. Little people are left unharmed. You need to pick a place where anyone can find and be at if a tornado comes. Make sure that everyone is safe. Also, you have to close the windows, if a safe room has windows. But, try to stay in a safe place without windows. A tornado looks like a thin rope and twirls fast in a circular way. The winds from a tornado can swish across and go toward the land as quickly as 100- 300 miles per hour. One well known storm is the Great Tri-State Tornado. This tornado was devastating and incredible because it went through three states; Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana in less than 4 hours. Another very well known storm is the Flint-Beecher Tornado. A tornado had struck the cities Flint and Beecher in Michigan. It had hit at night, so it was more difficult to understand that there was a tornado, where it is currently, and what it will damage. In the United States, in the Midwest, it is also known as the Tornado Alley. There, a lot of tornadoes occur. In the Midwest, they have tornado
Every year we practice tornado drills for our safety. A tornado is a violent rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground.They can destroy large buildings, trees and vehicles hundreds of yards. Damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide to 50 miles long. In an average year, 1000 tornadoes are reported nationwide. Tornadoes form out of thunderstorms, where moist air rises, cools and condenses into clouds that release heat and force cooler air back down. If the updrafts are strong enough, the feedback loop forms an air vortex that continues to shunt more moist air upwards and eventually forms a tornado.
Natural disasters are terrible things that have been happening more often in America. One of these disasters is a hurricane. Hurricanes are severe storms with rain and wind that reach up to a category five. A hurricane that recently hit the southern U.S. and many other countries was Hurricane Irma. At one point, Irma was a category five. This hurricane was a horrendous hurricane that took many lives. Unfortunately, the physical destruction was devastating, leaving many people without their homes, without power, and with trees down. Fortunately, a majority of the people affected, had their lives spared. As you can see, hurricanes are very dangerous and can be deadly.
Year after year we hear about violent hurricanes, dangerous tornados, and treacherous icy roads causing great damage and even taking innocent lives. Every year southern and southeast States dread the weather that comes. Tennessee gets ice roads, Florida and southeast states get hit with hurricanes and tornadoes. West coast often brings earthquakes and mudslides to the table. This year, California has been hit by massive wildfires, floods, and mudslides. There are many ways people can prepare for these types of storms.
Tornados, with their dusty spin and its cone like shape, tornados can destroy a lot. If you see on the news and they maybe see a tornado be calm but when they see it coming, hide in the bunker you probably don’t have. But that won’t really happen, even if tornados hit the U.S. about 1,300 a year it may not happen. The area you can maybe get a tornado is North Dakoda down to Texas over to Florida up to New Jersey. But one state in that area doesn't get rarely any and
Finally for the funnel shape of the tornado to occur, the wind traveling towards the ground causes a rotation that generates a funnel cloud near the ground.Tornado alley is an area in the US where tornadoes spawn far more than anywhere else in the world. This area extends from North Dakota straight down to Texas. The main reason tornadoes occur here more than other places, is because topography in this central US area consists of open plains and fields. During summer the plains tend to get very hot and this warm air rises to meet with cool air creating conditions ideal for storms. Tornadoes usually last around ten minutes; larger and stronger tornadoes can linger up to thirty minutes. Wind speeds during tornadoes reach up to three hundred miles per hour, but most tornadoes can travel at speeds of around one hundred miles per hour. Tornadoes typically cover and span a few miles. The speeds they move are devastating and strong enough to rip houses out of their foundations. At least 60 people in the US are killed
The U.S. gets about 800 Tornadoes a year (According to Spencer Adkins meteorologist on channel thirteen). Then there is this place called Tornado ally. That is were tornadoes form the most, and they get the biggest ones there to. The place called Tornado ally is in the Mid Western. Next, hurricanes form mostly near oceans. The reason they form there is they need warm water to help them form. Hurricanes are made from water and wind, so when the warm and clod water starts to be picked up it helps into form the hurricane. So that is why they form near. Or in the water.
A tornado is a violent rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. The most violent tornadoes can produce massive destruction with wind speeds of 250 miles per hour or more. The typical tornado moves from southwest to northeast, but they have been known to move in any direction. The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 miles per hour but it may vary from stationary to 70 miles per hour. Although tornadoes occur in many parts of the world, they are found most frequently in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains during the spring and summer months. In an average year, 800 tornadoes are reported nationwide, resulting in 80 deaths and over 1,500 injuries.
Disasters, whether natural or manmade, can happen anytime and anywhere, without warning. An earthquake, hurricane, tornado, fire, or hazardous material spill or even an act of terrorism can happen
Each year about a thousand tornadoes hit the United States, much more than any other country. Tornadoes are very dangerous in multiple ways! A tornado is a spinning cloud that has a funnel shape. They can have very rapid and high wind speeds. They sound very powerful! A tornado is made up of many factors. This paper will discuss where most tornadoes occur. How a tornado forms. The various wind speeds of a tornado. Last but not least, the sound of tornadoes.
Tornadoes can also form anytime of the year and anyplace and anytime and what shape they could look like they can twist and turn and form ways that weird to all people in the world that looks really weird and will destroy a lot of things. Tornadoes are one of the most violent and powerful types of weather. They consist of a very fast rotating column of air that usually forms a funnel shape. They can be very dangerous as their high speed winds can break apart buildings, knock down trees, and even toss cars into the air. The winds of a tornado can reach speeds of up to 480 km per hour that’s strong enough to peel the roofs off houses, uproot trees and hurl heavy objects, such as cars, hundreds of metres!. A tornado
While natural disasters such as floods, drought and hurricanes are commonly thought to occur due to environmental forces such as weather, climate and tectonic movements; a deeper investigation into the ‘disaster’ displays other contributing forces. Human factors have a large, if not equal, contribution to the occurrance and outcome of such disasters (Pelling, 2001). As Pelling (2001) argues, there is both a physical and human dimension to ‘natural disasters’. The extent to which the natural occurrence of a physical process, such as a flood or earthquake, impacts on society is constructed by that society, creating a ‘disaster’ as measured by a
