Nice Name But She's So Deadly

1．More than a million people in the United States were told to leave their homes over the weekend as Hurricane （飓风） Dennis headed to the Gulf coast, after killing at least 15 people in the Caribbean Sea.

2．If you read the news oftenen0ugh, you may notice that all hurricanes are given names. Why is that？ Remember, there can be more than one hurricane operating at one time. Without naming them, we could get confused about which storm we're talking about.

3．For hundreds of years, hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the particular religious day on which they occurred. One Australian meteoroid）gist （气象学家） began giving women's names to tropical storms at the end of the 19th century. In 1953, the US National Weather Service, which is responsible for tracking hurricanes and issuing warnings, began using female names for storms. By 1979, both women and men's names were being used.

Hurricane(飓风)Katrina

A hurricane is a fiercely powerful, rotating(旋转的)form. of tropical storm that can be 124 to 1,240 miles in diameter. The term hurricane is derived from Hurican, the name of a native American storm god. Hurricanes are typical of a calm central region of low pressure between 12 to 60 miles in diameter, known as the eye. They occur in tropical regions. Over its lifetime, one of these can release as much energy as 10, 000 nuclear bombs.

The seed for hurricane formation is a cluster(聚集)of thunderstorms over warm tropical waters. Hurricanes can only form. and be fed when the sea-surface temperature exceeds 27℃ and the surrounding atmosphere is calm. These requirements are met between June and November in the northern part of the world.

Under these conditions, large quantities of water evaporate(蒸发)and condense(冷凝)into clouds and rain-releasing heat in the process. It is this heat energy, combined with the rotation of the Earth, that drives a hurricane.

When the warm column of air from the sea surface first begins to rise, it causes an area of low pressure. This in turn creates wind as air is drawn into the area. This spinning wind drags up more moist air from the sea surface in a process that strengthens the storm. Cold air falls back to the ocean surface through the eye and on the outside of the storm.

Initially, when wind speeds reach 23 miles per hour, these mild, wet and grey weather systems are known as depressions, or low air pressure. Hurricane Katrina formed in this way over the south-eastern Bahamas on 23 August 2005. Katrina has had a devastating impact on the Gulf Coast of the US, leaving a disaster zone of 90, 000 square miles in its wake(尾迹)-almost the size of the UK. Thousands have been killed or injured and more than half a million people have become homeless in a humanitarian(人道主义的)crisis of a scale not seen in the US since the Great Depression. The cost of the damage may top $100 billion.

The eye of a hurricane refers to its

A．lower part.

B．rotating part.

C．calm central part.

D．most violent part.

Hurricanes (龙卷风)

1. Did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no names？ They were simply given numbers. The first names Were simply Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. But in 1953, female names were given because of the unpredictability (不可预知) factor of the storms. In 1979, realizing the sexist (性别歧视的) nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women.

2. Hurricanes and typhoons (台风) are the same things. If they form. in the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning "big wind." And if they are Pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun, meaning "great wind." To be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter.

3. Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapor gives out heat as it condenses (凝结) from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator (MIA). To make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air, the kind of air that can only be found in tropical regions.

4. Scientists have determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hour. In just one day alone, the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year! The problem is that we don&39;t know how to make such great energy work for us.

5. Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters. It moves at a typical speed of 15 mph. But not always. Some storms may race along at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location in the ocean for several days. It can be maddening (发疯的) if you live in a coastal area that may be hit.

6. The biggest advance in early detection is continuous Watch from weather satellites. With these, we can see the storms form. and track them. fully, from birth to death. While they can still kill people and destroy property, hurricanes will never surprise any nation again.
