Tropical storms and everything to know about them!
Tropical storms need warm water at 26.5 degrees to form.
Tropical storms cannot form at the equator due to there being no corriolas effect which causes the stroms to get their spin.
There are two types of pressure systems. Low and high.
Low presuure systems cause warm moist air to rise as it is less dense.
High pressure causes cold air sinking due to it being dense and heavy.
Air is made up of tiny molecules. Even though they are tiny they still have mass and press down on us causing pressure.
If a solar beam of radiation hits a small surfuce area, that place becomes hotter.
It is hotter at the equator due to it being the only flat part of the earth, so the radiation is more concentrated which is why it is hotter at the equator.
The three types of cells in global atmospheric circulation are the feral cell, the polar cell and the hadley cell.
A tropical storm can only form when there is a low pressure system.
Tropical storms need the coriolas effect to form.
Tropical storms need ocean depth of 60-70 metres.
Tropical storms need calm wind in the atmoshphere so the storms don't break apart.
Tropical storms generally can only form in the early autumn or late summer as this is when oceans are the right temperature.
Tropical storms are tropical depressions before they become tropical storms, they only become tropical storms after a certain amount of time whilst they are a depression.
People fly through tropical storms to collect data.
Satelittes take images of the storms.
Houses are reinforced with pillars causing the storm surge to travel under the house, negating damage.
The four wind types are polar continetal, polar maritime, tropical continental, tropical maritime and the jet stream.
