Chapter 20 Section 4 Hurricanes and Winter Storms
Describe the origin, life cycle, and behavior of weather systemsObjectives:-Explain the formation and effects of hurricanes, and the measures taken to mitigate their damage-Describe the weather conditions associated with mid-latitude lows during winter

Hurricanes:
• Large rotating storm of tropical origin• Sustained winds of at least 119 km/hr• Energy source – heat from surface ocean
water• In the Pacific – typhoons

Structure and Formation
• Spiral structure
• Outer edge of system, rain and wind are mild– Increase as winds spiral toward the center of
storm (low pressure)

Which Hurricane is this? How do you know

Formation
• Must have a supply of warm, moist air
• Water evaporates and condenses within storm clouds
– This releases heat energy which fuels the storm– Originates in the tropics

Formation:
Coriolis EffectMerry Go Round
-Coriolis Effect:Causes air at the surface to rotate counter-clockwise in the N. Hemisphereclockwise in the S. Hemisphere

Storm Surge
• A large volume of water pushed onto shore as a result from hurricane winds
• Exacerbated (intensified) during high tides
