[1] By the morning of October 15, the wave began to regain convection and eventually spawned a new area of low pressure roughly 475 mi (765 km) south-southwest of Puerto Ángel, Mexico. [2] By the afternoon, the NHC reported that the system had become increasingly organized and was likely to develop into a tropical depression later that day. [3] Around 11:00 am PDT (1800 UTC), the NHC declared that the low had developed into a tropical depression, the 20th of the 2009 Pacific hurricane season. [1][4] The storm featured well-developed outflow in all directions. Environmental conditions consisting of low wind shear, high moisture content and above average sea surface temperatures in the path of the system were exceptionally favorable for rapid development.
Hurricane Carol was among the worst tropical cyclones on record to affect the New England region of the United States. It developed from a tropical wave near the Bahamas on August 25, 1954, and slowly strengthened as it moved northwestward. On August 27, Carol intensified to reach winds of 105 mph (170 km/h), but weakened as its motion became to a northwest drift. A strong trough of low pressure turned the hurricane northeastward, and Carol later intensified into a major hurricane. [nb 1] While paralleling the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States, the storm produced strong winds and rough seas that caused minor coastal flooding and slight damage to houses in North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Delaware, and New Jersey.
Hurricane Nadine was the fourth longest-lived Atlantic hurricane on record. The fourteenth tropical cyclone and named storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, Nadine developed from a tropical wave west of Cape Verde on September 10. By the following day, it had strengthened into Tropical Storm Nadine. After initially tracking northwestward, Nadine turned northward, well away from any landmass. Early on September 15, Nadine reached hurricane status as it was curving eastward.
Due to this convergence (where winds move to a center point), air is forced to rise over that area. If enough moisture is available, the rising air cools and condenses (as cold air cannot hold water vapor below a certain temperature) into tiny water droplets which constitute the cloud. So, low pressure areas are usually the birth-place of clouds. Sometimes, particularly in the winter, fog forms over a high pressure area due to radiation cooling(due to clear sky conditions over a high pressure area).This fog sometimes lift and forms thick low cloud called "anticyclone gloom".

They are very low pressure areas with diameters of over 500 miles. The barometric air pressure in inches of mercury at a distance of x miles from the eye of a severe hurricane is modeled by the formula f(x) = 0.48 ln (x + 1) + 27. (Source: A. Miller and R. Anthes, Meteorology) a. Evaluate f(0) and f(100). Interpret the result.
It originally formed off the Bahamas, on August 23rd, as a Tropical Depression and strengthened to a Category 1 storm once it made landfall in Florida on August 25th. The warm ocean water, moist atmosphere and lack of wind shear that Katrina passed through allowed it to strengthen to a Category 3 storm by August 27th. That day, the Mayor of New Orleans to issue a voluntary evacuation, which he upgraded to mandatory on August 28th, only 19 hours before Katrina
Log(base8)300=Y 7. Hurricanes, some of the largest storms on earth, are low pressure areas with diameters of over 500 miles. The barometric air pressure in inches of mercury at a distance of x miles from the eye of a severe hurricane is modeled by the formula f(x) = 0.48 ln (x + 1) + 27. a. Evaluate f(0) and f(100).

He suggested that at the centre of oceans, molten material would rise from the Earth’s mantle, causing new sea floor to be created, pushing the ocean floor. He also suggested that there were ocean trenches where old sea floor would then go back into the mantle, and molten. He found that these ocean trenches, the deepest parts of the ocean, were very near continental plates. Hess theorized that the action of the sea floor spreading caused continents to move apart and so this being evidence for continental drift, showing why it happened. The evidence of sea floor spreading was further supported by Vine and Drummond, who studied the magnetic pattern of the sea floor.
2. (a)Were latitude the only control of temperature, the isotherms would run straight across the maps from east to west. Describe one region of the world where this hypothetical isotherm pattern is actually observed: The region of the world in near the equator. (b)Why is the hypothetical pattern seen here? It falls in the tropical zones.
It first hit Cuba then the Dominic Republic then Haiti; where they still hadn't gotten back on their feet after the storm in 2010. It was a weak tropical storm at that time but the winds were still pretty strong; 65 miles per hour. Once it got past those countries, Tropical Storm Isaac was projected to head towards the Key West area of Florida, then was supposed to fizzle out to a tropical depression.
