The Various Hazards That May Happen in The Wake of Tropical Cyclones, Monsoons, Floods or Ipo-Ipo

The document discusses various natural hazards including tropical cyclones, monsoons, floods, and tornadoes. It provides information on: - The formation, characteristics and hazards of tropical cyclones including wind speeds over 150 mph and storm surges. - The main hazards associated with tropical cyclones are wind gusts and heavy rainfall. - Floods can occur when rivers or streams overflow their banks or during coastal flooding from large storms. - Tornadoes form from thunderstorms and can have wind speeds up to 300 mph, destroying buildings and tossing vehicles. - Monsoons are seasonal wind changes that cause wet and dry seasons in tropical regions and are influenced by temperature differences between land

THE VARIOUS HAZARDS

THAT MAY HAPPEN IN


THE WAKE OF TROPICAL
CYCLONES , MONSOONS ,
FLOODS OR IPO-IPO.
TROPICAL CYCLONES

Tropical cyclone, also called typhoonor hurricane, an intense


circular storm that originates over warm tropical oceans and is
characterized by low atmospheric pressure, highwinds, and heavy rain.
Drawing energy from the sea surface and maintaining its strength as
long as it remains over warm water, a tropical cyclone generates winds
that exceed 119 km (74 miles) per hour. In extreme cases winds may
hour. exceed 240 km (150 miles) per hour, and gusts may surpass 320
km (200 miles) per hour.
What are the hazards associated with a cyclone?

Those that form in the tropics may also be


called hurricanes, typhoons, tropicalstorms, and
tropical depressions, depending on their size and
intensity. The main hazards associated
with tropical cyclones are wind
gusts and heavy rainfall, but considerable
coastal erosion and storm surges can also
happen.
What is a cyclone storm?

A tropical cyclone is a non-frontal storm system


that is characterised by a low pressure center,
spiral rain bands and strong winds. Usually it
originates over tropical or subtropical waters and
rotates clockwise in the southern hemisphere and
counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
What are the different types of tropical
cyclones?

Hurricanes and typhoons are actually types of


tropical cyclones, but they have different names
so that it's clear where that storm is
occurring. Hurricanes are found in the Atlantic
and Northeast Pacific, typhoons are found in
the Northwest Pacific.
What is the cause of a tropical cyclone?

Tropical cyclones typically form over


large bodies of relatively warm water.
They derive their energy through the
evaporation of water from the ocean
surface, which ultimately recondenses
into clouds and rain when moist air rises
and cools to saturation.
What are the effects of the cyclone?

The main effects of


tropical cyclones include heavy rain,
strong wind, large storm surges at
landfall, and tornadoes. The
destruction from a
tropical cyclone depends mainly on
its intensity, its size, and its location.
How is a cyclone formed?

A tropical cyclone needs two main


ingredients: a cluster of thunderstorms
and a warm body of water – at least
27ºC – from which the storm gathers its
energy. The warm, tropical ocean under
a developing storm evaporates then
condenses to formclouds, releasing
heat throughout the process.
How the flood is formed?

A flood occurs when water overflows or inundates


land that's normally dry. This can happen in a
multitude of ways. Most common is when rivers or
streams overflow their banks. ...
Coastal flooding occurs when a large storm or
tsunami causes the
sea to surge inland.
Floods
Flood is a state of high water along a Floods can
also occur in rivers when the flow rate exceeds
the capacity of the river channel, particularly at
bends or meanders in the waterway. Floods often
cause damage to homes and businesses if they
are in the natural flood plains of rivers. While
riverine flood damage can be eliminated by
moving away from rivers and other bodies of
water, people have traditionally lived and worked
by rivers because the land is usually flat
and fertile and because rivers provide easy travel
and access to commerce and industry.river
channel or on the coast.
Tornado
• A tornado is a violent rotating column of air extending
from a thunderstorm to the ground. The most
violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous destruction
with wind speeds of up to 300 mph. They can destroy
large buildings, uproot trees and hurl vehicles hundreds of
yards.
What is the cause of a tornado?

The intense spinning of


a tornado is partly the result of
the updrafts and downdrafts in
the thunderstorm (caused by the
unstable air) interacting with the
wind shear, resulting in a tilting
of the wind shear to form an
upright tornado vortex.
How many different types of tornadoes are
there?

Types of Tornadoes. Tornadoes come from


mainly two types of thunderstorms: supercell
and non-supercell. Tornadoes that come from
a supercell thunderstorm are the most
common, and often the most dangerous. A
rotating updraft is a key to the development of
a supercell, and eventually a tornado.
What is the cause and effect of a tornado?

Tornadoes are cause by the thunderstorms being


extremely large, unstable and with wind shear in the
lower region of the atmosphere. ... Firstly, when the
thunderstorm approaches, the wind direction, speed
changes in the upper area of the atmosphere
and causes an invisible horizontal spinning effect in the
lower region.
Monsoons
A monsoon is a seasonal change in the
direction of the prevailing, or strongest,
winds of a region. Monsoons cause wet and
dry seasons throughout much of the
tropics.Monsoons are most often associated
with the Indian Ocean.Monsoons always
blow from cold to warm regions.
How is the monsoon caused?

The monsoon, which is essentially the seasonal reversal in


wind direction, causesmost of the rainfall received in India and
some other parts of the world. The
primarycause of monsoons is the difference between annual
temperature trends over land and sea.
We can’t stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with
knowledge.
So many lives wouldn’t have to be lost if there was enough
disaster preparedness.
be ready always in the time of natural disasters
:

: be updated
:don’t panic
:prepare all the emergency kit
:evacuate as early as possible
:ALWAYS PRAY TO GOD
IN TIMES OF DISASTER,BEING PREPARED WILL MAKE YOU SURVIVE.
