The southern part of the USA is where a lot of tornadoes occur , to be precise more that 1,200 tornadoes and most of these are in the southern parts which mainly experience many of either F4 or F5 tornadoes annually . Tornadoes are a weather phenomenon that occur regularly throughout the US. They are caused by very low pressure systems that form during storm events. Signs of Tornadoes include unusual amounts of heavy rain and hail , A large, dark, low-lying cloud (particularly if rotating) and Dark, often greenish sky. These indicate the awareness of shelter and too be ready to take cover if needed.
Tornadoes Purpose: To inform the audience about tornadoes. Introduction Attention Getter: What can hurdle automobiles through the air, rip ordinary homes to shreds, and travel at speeds over 60 mph? Topic Orientation: Topical Credibility: I researched the topic of tornadoes, and it’s most common to happen in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, eastern Colorado and western Iowa can also be referred as Tornado Alleys because of the warm and humid weather. Relevance: Well, tornadoes continue as they always have to tear out wide areas of human made structures, automobiles, or even entire small cities in Tornado Alley. Credibility: I researched the topic of tornadoes and the most common in the state of Illinois, rather than any
Hurricanes and blizzards are two very potent forces of Mother Nature. Each of these punishing storms can cause excessive damage, but under different conditions. Blizzards engross an area with mass amounts of snow while hurricanes have trampling rain and tremendous winds. Although there are many differences between the two, they do have a few resemblances. They are both convection storms, which means rising air causes low pressure and, in turn, makes air rush in from surrounding areas to create very strong winds.
CNN also kept their report focused on the main topic rather than including past information and additional information related to the area where the storm is projected to hit. For example, CNN was the only site of the three to leave out information on Hurricane Alex, as well as the drug gang massacre, which were both mentioned in Fox News and MSNBC's reports. While CNN gave more detailed information on the effects the storm will have such as the rainfall predicted to come from the storm and the storm surge that will raise water levels, MSNBC and Fox News gave more information on how authorities in Mexico and Texas were preparing for the storm, such as opening shelters, warning people about mudslides and flooding, readying pumping equipment, and distributing sandbags. CNN includes in their report a projected path of the storm for viewers to watch. MSNBC includes a satellite image of tropical storm Hermine, as well as a video showing flooded areas in Mexico and a project path for the storm.
While hurricanes can produce extremely powerful winds and rain, they are also able to produce high waves, damaging storms, and tornadoes. Hurricanes are
The theme of “A sound of Thunder could be thought of as “Every thing in the past and present is connected and we must not change it”. Examples of this theme are things like the butterfly effect. Killing that one little butterfly could’ve caused more to die. Butterflies change climate when they flap their wings so that climate change could’ve affected many more things. Two quotes from “A Sound of Thunder” that represent this theme are “Embedded in the mud, glistening green and gold and black, was a butterfly very beautiful and dead” (pg.
These tornadoes in the Midwest and Massachusetts were extremely devastating to the surrounding land. Almost everything that came in contact with these horrible disasters were obliterated. Although the broken window fallacy claims this is a
Hurricanes Hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones, are low pressure storm systems that form on open water and feed on heat released when moist air rises. Hurricanes are recognized on radar by their distinct pin wheel shape. When hurricanes begin to take shape they are called a tropical storm. The word “tropical” is used because most of these storms are formed by the very warm water of the tropics. Hurricanes need the ocean’s water temperature to be about 80 degrees to a depth of about 150 feet.
Non-explosive eruptions tend to produce mostly lava flows, which do not represent a particularly serious hazard to people, however they will destroy farmland and buildings. Ash clouds are explosive eruptions that blast solid and molten rock (called tephra or pyroclastics) into the air with tremendous force. Ash clouds pose a considerable threat to aircraft, can cause buildings to collapse and can also cause death by asphyxiation. Pyroclastic flows are a potential product of volcanic activity; clouds of incandescent gas, ash and rocks with temperatures up to 800°C and speeds of over 200kph. They can cause widespread destruction, such as the 1980 eruption of Mt St Helens.
There can be tornadoes in this area of Texas, as well. They occur during the summer months. These two severe storms can alter the landscape. Hurricanes can produce floods and tornadoes and uproot trees and take up part of the crops and earth. Weathering also plays an important role in the climate of this area.
