Tropical Storms - Coggle Diagram
Tropical Storms
-
-
How they form
-
Earth's rotation
This generates the spin, causing the storm system to start revolving
-
Light wind shear
-
The lighter winds carries the storm system in a certain direction, intensifying the storm more and more
Strength
Land does not have the temperature source the warm ocean surface provided, causing it to cool down
The friction between the storm and the land is one of the biggest factors for why the storm weakens - it loses energy
Once storms reach land, their strength decreases rapidly
