Hurricanes are a tropical system, which have a unique structure, and, sometimes, unique behavior. . Hurricane landfalls in the U.S. since 1950 – 2005 / National Climatic Data Center / NOAA. What is a Hurricane? . A hurricane is a . large, severe storm that develops over tropical (warm) oceans. . By: Maggie Colf. Tornadoes. “There is also disagreement as to whether separate touchdowns of the same funnel constitute separate tornado.”. Tornadoes may not have a visible funnel.. Truth is that we don’t fully understand.. i. What causes wind? . Caused by a difference in air pressure due to. unequal heating of the atmosphere.. Winds are created by. ….. • . Heating the air, decreases pressure (warm. air rises creating a low pressure). WHAT DO HURRICANES AND TORNADOES HAVE IN COMMON?. Low Pressure . Strong Winds . Hazardous to Life and Property . HOW DO THEY DIFFER?. Location . Size . Duration . Season of Occurrence . Distinctive Hazards. . By : . Deavian. foster . Class : 5H. What is an earthquake?. A earthquake is a shaking of the earths crust and is a geological phenomenon . Earthquakes can cause intense vibration of the ground, soil liquefaction, and distortion of the ground. Earthquakes can happen almost anywhere but are most common along the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Earthquakes are primarily caused of movement of the tectonic plates. It lasts more than a few seconds.. Tornadoes are . rotating columns of air that extend down from a storm cloud in the shape of a . funnel..
