Document Summary
Week nine geog 1350 earth: hazards and global change march 13th. In hurricanes, warm air rises to form a spiralling pattern of clouds (centre is where the storm is) Tropical depression wind increases and rotate around the area of disturbed weather: warm moist air is drawn into the depression and begins to spin faster. Tropical storm once maximum sustained wind speeds reach 63 km/hr it is upgraded to this. Rain bands the clouds that spiral around a hurricane and contain numerous thunderstorms. Eyewall the most intense winds and rainfall occur in the inner-most bands of clouds. Eye the eyewall surrounds a circular area of calm conditions and broken clouds from 5-60 km. Jet stream strong winds in the upper troposphere occur in the concentrated flow of the air. Storm surge rapid local rise in water that happens when hurricane winds push water on shore.
