Every year tornadoes rip through the countryside and hurricanes attack the coast, taking people’s lives and damaging entire comm

unities. Tornadoes and hurricanes may well be two of the most destructive forces on Earth.
Both tornadoes and hurricanes are types of cyclones, air masses that spin around an area of low pressure. Tornadoes stem from thunderclouds that occur over land. Tornadoes most commonly form in the heart of the United States. Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas are part of a region known as Tornado Alley because so many tornadoes occur there. Hurricanes, on the other hand, form at sea. They take shape in the Atlantic Ocean and most commonly affect the Caribbean. Hurricanes can sweep the eastern seaboard from Florida to New England.
Tornadoes reach higher wind speeds than hurricanes. A tornado’s winds range from forty miles per hour to nearly three hundred miles per hour, while hurricane winds range from seventy-three miles per hour to about two hundred miles per hour. Meteorologists record several tornadoes each year with speeds close to three hundred miles per hour. Two factors make hurricanes more destructive than tornadoes: the difference in the size of each storm and the length of time each storm can last. Tornadoes are smaller in size and duration than hurricanes. A tornado seldom becomes larger than .25 miles in diameter, although the diameter can range from twenty feet to one mile. It travels an average of seven to eight miles before dissipating. A hurricane, however, can extend more than five hundred miles in diameter and can affect thousands of square miles and millions of people. While tornadoes usually do not last longer than a few minutes, a hurricane may last weeks, causing flooding, torrential rainfall, and billions of dollars in property damage. A tornado warning, the period when a tornado has been seen or is highly likely, generally lasts only forty-five minutes.
Even though a hurricane can cause more damage than a tornado, both are deadly, violent storms. Hurricanes and tornadoes destroy lives and property and demand our respect.

Some examples of transitional words are:

  • But
  • Therefore
  • Nevertheless, etc

<h3>What is a Transitional Word?</h3>

This refers to the use of words that links dependent and independent clauses in a given sentence.

Therefore, it is easy to discover a word that is NOT a transitional word if it does not show a link between two different ideas.

Hence, we can see that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to have a better understanding of what a transitional word is.

Answer:

Human–canine bonding is the relationship between dogs and humans. This bond can be traced back at least 15,000 years ago to the Bonn-Oberkassel dog that was found buried with two humans. For centuries, dogs have been labeled as "man's best friend," offering companionship and loyalty to their human counterparts.[1] This is evident in most homes where dogs are domesticated. Children and adults have cordial relationships with all kinds of dogs.

The use of dogs in activities to help humans has become widespread in the last few decades since the 1970s and 1980s. Dogs have been used for service due to their incredible sense of smell with research showing they can smell fear, anxiety and sadness. The use of service dogs in assisting humans range from guide dogs, mobility dogs and medical alert dogs. In some hospitals the use of dogs has been referred to as animal-facilitated therapy (AFT). AFT involves the use of trained, certified animals as part of a medical patient's therapeutic plan. These programs have been shown to promote a healing environment and reduce certain psychological symptoms for patients with a variety of diagnoses, including cancer,[7] seizure alert and detecting peanut allergies.[medical citation needed] Dogs, better known as “therapy dogs,” are used in hospitals for pet-assisted therapy to provide comfort and affection to people. As a result of the studies by Dr. Samuel Corson pets have become commonplace in nursing homes[8] and other such settings. Persons who suffer from isolation, depression, and mental illness, sometimes to the point where it significantly interferes with day-to-day life find security in an emotional support animal. It is important to remember that those dogs that fall into the emotional support animal category do not require any specific training or screening.[9]
