         \n\nHurricanes  \nare widely  \nconsidered the  \nmost  \ndestructive  \nstorm systems  \non our planet.  \nA hurricane is a tropical storm withwinds that have reached a sustainedspeed of 74 miles per hour.Sustained winds are defined as a1-minute average wind measured atapproximately 33 feet(10 meters)above the surface of the ocean.  \nAll hurricanes—even the mostcatastrophic—begin over warmoceanic waters where atmosphericconditions result in low-pressurezones.These generally form in thetropical zones of the planet and areaccompanied by severe  \nthunderstorms,heavy rainfall,and—in the northern hemisphere—acounterclockwise circulation patternaround the low pressure “eye”of thestorm.This rotation results in anuneven distribution of storm damagedue to coastal waters being pushedonshore on the east side of the  \nstorm,but offshore on the west sideof the storm.Further,this rotationresults in a difference in the speed ofthe winds in a storm due to rotationalforce with the winds being strongeston the east side of a storm(assumedto be moving due north)and slightlyweaker on the west side of thestorm.  \nheat warms the surrounding aircausing it to rise.Rising warm air isreplaced in the lower atmosphere bycooler air that rushes in to replace itas previously described.This coolerair is warmed by the ocean and thecycle continues.The heat from thewarm ocean is the \"fuel\"for thehurricane;hence the association of ahurricane “season”with the seasonsof the year when the oceanic watersare warmest.  \nIn the northern hemisphere,the  \nwinds in a hurricane rotate  \ncounter-clockwise dueto the Coriolis effect.When a low pressurefront starts in thenorthern hemisphere,the surface winds willflow inward trying to fill  \nDue to the tremendous potential forloss of human life and property,  \nhurricanes aretracked by theNational Oceanicand AtmosphericAdministration(NOAA)through satellite  \nthe low pressure and will bedeflected to the right as a result ofthe rotation of the earth.This resultsin the counter-clockwise rotation.The opposite deflection occurs southof the equator where storms rotateclockwise.  \nimagery and in cooperation with theUnited States Air Force 53d WeatherReconnaissance Squadron,knownas the Hurricane Hunters.Thesemen and women fly speciallyequipped aircraft through the tropicalstorms and record meteorologicaldata.These data have allowedscientists to enhance their  \nHurricanes contain tremendousenergy obtained from the warmth of  \nthe tropicalwaters overwhich they form.As the warm,humid air rises,it  \ncapabilities to accurately forecast thetrack of these storms,which hasresulted in more effective andefficient community response plansto preserve life and property.  \ncools,releasing heat ener","cbCaijx84gGAVmZz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijx84gGAVmZz","pdf",390502,12,"English","# Coastal Hazards: Hurricanes\n## Lesson Objectives\n## What is a Hurricane?\n## What are the Impacts of Hurricanes?","[{\"question\":\"What conditions help a hurricane form?\",\"answer\":\"Hurricanes begin over warm oceanic waters where low-pressure zones develop, forming in tropical areas with severe thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and an eye-like low-pressure center.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Coriolis effect influence hurricanes?\",\"answer\":\"In the northern hemisphere, hurricane winds rotate counter-clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, while storms in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.\"},{\"question\":\"How are hurricanes classified and why does that matter for coastal impacts?\",\"answer\":\"The United States classifies hurricanes by wind strength using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, which estimates potential damage tied to wind speed, storm surge, and flooding—varying with tides, elevation, and whether the area is on the east or west side of the storm.\"}]","COAST - Coastal Hazards: Hurricanes | PDF",1790590281]
