Tropical Cyclons


A Tropical Cyclon is a localized, very intense low-pressure wind system, forming over tropical oceans and with winds of hurricane force. Depending to where this cyclons are form they will resive diferent names.If the cyclon is form in the Philipines in the North Pacific it will be called "Typhoons". If it's form in the Atlantic/ Pacific eastern ocean it will be called "Hurricane" an if it's located over the Indian/ South Pacific Ocean they will be called "Cyclones". The word Hurricane's origin is Taino Hurakán that means "god of the storm". This are named in an alfabetical order and one female name and male name.
Hurricanes are form when warm air rises, causing an area of lower air pressure bellow. Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes in to the low pressure area. Then that "new" air becomes warm and moist and arises, too. As the warm air continous ro rise, the surrounding air swirls in to take its place. As the warmes, moist air raises and cools off, the water in the air forms clouds. The whole system of clouds and wind spins and grows, fed by the ocean's heat and water evaporating from the surface. For a hurricane tu occure the weather  conditons  are that  warm, humid wind of tropycal water (80°F) warm water meets wind from west Africa, causes water to vaporize. Water vapor rises to atmosphere were it liquifies, this creates deuds(cumulonimbus), tall colums that makes thunderstorms as the clouds from them creates a spiral over ocean surface. Rain from thunderstorm falls to the ocean where is reheated and sent back to atmosphere. 
The Hurricane's wind speed and strengh is messure by scales from 1 to 5. This scale prevent possible damages.Hurricanes reaching category 3 and higher are considered major huricanes because of their potential of significan loss of life and damage. Category 1 and 2 storm are still dangerous, however, and requiere preventative messures. Depending on the scale of the hurricane thir will be effects and this effects will be grouped into 2, weather and economic. The weather effects are storm surge, floods and winds. The impacts on the economic are that anytime there is a disaster caused by a natural phenomenon there is extensive damage to property. People's livelihoods are wiped away and may take many years to get things together again. In many cases, there are fatalities and entire communities are severaly affected. This effects can be reduce by warmings such as drills, boards on doors and windows and supplies(food, radios, water).
