"Hurricane" redirects here. For other uses, see Hurricane (disambiguation).For technical reasons, "Hurricane #1" redirects here. For the band, see Hurricane No. 1.Hurricane Isabel (2003) as seen from orbit during Expedition 7 of the International Space Station.

A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by names such as hurricane (/ˈhʌrᵻkən/ or /ˈhʌrᵻkeɪn/[1][2][3]), typhoon /taɪˈfuːn/, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, and simply cyclone.[4] A hurricane is a storm that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, a typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, and a cyclone occurs in the south Pacific or Indian Ocean.[4]

Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water. They derive their energy through the evaporation of water from the ocean surface, which ultimately recondenses into clouds and rain when moist air rises and cools to saturation. This energy source differs from that of mid-latitude cyclonic storms, such as nor'easters and European windstorms, which are fueled primarily by horizontal temperature contrasts. The strong rotating winds of a tropical cyclone are a result of the conservation of angular momentum imparted by the Earth's rotation as air flows inwards toward the axis of rotation. As a result, they rarely form within 5° of the equator.[5] Tropical cyclones are typically between 100 and 2,000 km (62 and 1,243 mi) in diameter.

Tropical refers to the geographical origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively over tropical seas. Cyclone refers to their cyclonic nature, with wind blowing counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The opposite direction of circulation is due to the Coriolis effect.

In addition to strong winds and rain, tropical cyclones are capable of generating high waves, damaging storm surge, and tornadoes. They typically weaken rapidly over land where they are cut off from their primary energy source. For this reason, coastal regions are particularly vulnerable to damage from a tropical cyclone as compared to inland regions. Heavy rains, however, can cause significant flooding inland, and storm surges can produce extensive coastal flooding up to 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the coastline. Though their effects on human populations are often devastating, tropical cyclones can relieve drought conditions. They also carry heat energy away from the tropics and transport it toward temperate latitudes, which may play an important role in modulating regional and global climate.

How did the Declaration of Independence help to expand america

irina1246 [14]

How the Declaration of Independence changed America?
America did not secede from the British Empire to be alone in the world. ... America's independence signaled a fundamental change: once-dependent British colonies became independent states that could make war, create alliances with foreign nations, and engage freely in commerce.

What is an easy way to remember who puritans were

Kazeer [188]

Well because Puritans were a group of people with religious moral beliefs this means they were very spiritual and religious, which reminds me of the word pure.
Because religious beliefs require you to have a pure, clean heart before God, this could remind you of the word puritans, pure-itans -- because Puritans were religious.

Also, puritans were a group of English Protestants, that can also help you! Protestants - puritans, both start with P and when you remember the word protestants you'll remember that they protested against the church of England under Queen Elizabeth to change and simply forms of worship because they knew it was not the way it should be.

Lastly, Puritans came right after the Pilgrims in the 1630s. Both these words start with P also and they will remind you that Puritans had a great influence in the world just like the Pilgrims. The puritans grew discontent with how the church of England had become (just like the pilgrims) and they wanted to change it. The Puritans brought a huge impact on the church of England with their Christian passion and beliefs. Both the Pilgrims and the Puritans sought to make a difference in the world in light of their faith and beliefs in God. They both brought a new religious freedom to the world by sharing their Christian faith to the world.
The pilgrims will help you remember who the puritans were :)

So, Ways to Remember
1. PURE-itans (they were members of a religious movement) remember the "pure" in puritans
2. Puritans were Protestants - both start with P (reminds you that they protested against the Church of England & the forms of worship practiced)
3. Puritans and the Pilgrims - (both start with p) remember they shared the same beliefs! and they both fought for their Christian faith and had a huge impact on the Christian church!

Hope this Helps!! Let me know if you have more questions :))
