Worst Weather Events

1. Which weather events kill the most Americans? hurricanes

2. Which weather events kill the most people (in the world)? I think hurricanes because it kills a lot of people.

3. Are your answers to those two questions different? Why or why not? Because of the water will be able to kill a lot
4.Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? no because of i feel flooding is not as bad but of you count it as in a hurricanes then yes

1.For your response to #1, find three weather events. Describe what happened (how severe was the storm, did anyone get hurt or die, how much property damage, include pictures, etc.). 1928 Okeechobee hurricane killed at least 4,078 people and caused around $100 million ($1 billion 2008 US dollars) in damages over the course of its path it was a It was the first recorded hurricane to reach Category 5 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale in the Atlantic basin; as of 2008, it remained the only recorded hurricane to strike Puerto Rico at Category 5 strength, and one of the ten most intense ever recorded to make landfall in the United States.

Weather Patterns

1. What is an air mass? volume of air
2. What is the difference between a tropical and polar air mass? tropical it warm and polar is cold
3. What causes an air mass to have high pressure? goes over the water flow outward
4. What causes an air mass to have low pressure? Low pressure areas form when an air mass warms

5. When a warm front moves through an area, what will happen to the temperature? it will be warmer

6. Look at the first diagram. There are two temperatures written in blue (28 and 31). These numbers will change once the warm front moves through. What do you think the temperatures will change to? Why? it will be warmer because of it it will go up to about 55

7. When a cold fron moves through an area, what will happen to the temperature? make it colder

8. Look at the first diagram. There are two temperatures written in red (55 and 62). These numbers will change once the cold front moves through. What do you think the temperatures will change to? Why? it will make it colder to about 30 because of the cold air

9. What is an occluded front? cold air is replacing cool air or vice versa at the surface

10. What will happen to the temperature once an occluded front moves through? it will be colder

11. What kind of storms are classified on the Fujita Scale? Tornado

12. Are most tornadoes weak, strong, or violent? weak

13. Are most tornado-related deaths from weak, strong, or violent tornadoes? violent

14. What 19 states make up tornado alley? (abbreviations are fine) OH,OK,CO,MO,ND,SD,IL,LA,KS,IN,MN,TN,TX,WY,KY,IA,MT,AR

15. Which state gets the most tornadoes per square mile? OK

16. Where in the world can tornadoes happen? ALL OVER exception of Antarctica

17. Where in the world are tornadoes most likely to happen? THE USA

18. What is the difference between a hurricane watch and a hurricane warning? a watch is within 36 hours. warning is expected within 24 hours.

19. Why can't we stop hurricanes? We do not know much about them

20. Which intensity scale is used for hurricanes? The Saffir Simpson Scale

21. If a hurricane has wind speeds of 103 mph, what category storm is it? 2

22. What is an isotherm? a line that connecting points having the same temperature at a given time

1. What are the four main types of air masses? What does each letter stand for? mT= Maritime TropicalmP= Maritime PolarcP = Continental PolarcT = Continental Tropical
2. Which kind of air mass(es) do you think brings hurricanes? Maritime Tropical
3. Which kind of air mass(es) do you think brings drought? Continental Tropical
4. Which kind of air mass(es) brings lake-effect snowstorms? Continental Tropical
5. Today we learned about the four main types of air masses. In reality, there any many more than four. What are two others? Explain them. A = Arctic H = Highland
A = Arctic is cold air from Canada
H = Highland occurs in regions with large elevation changes over short distance
