Hurricanes are large, spiraling tropical storms that can pack wind speeds of over 160 mph and unleash more than 2.4 trillion gallons of rain a day.[1]
The deadliest U.S. hurricane on record was a Category 4 storm that hit the island city of Galveston, Texas, on Sept. 8, 1900. Some 8,000 people lost their lives when the island was destroyed by 15-ft waves and 130-mph winds.[2]

In the Atlantic, hurricane season starts June 1, while in the Pacific it starts May 15. Both end on November 30.[4]
When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars. The heavy waves are called a storm surge.[5]
40% of the hurricanes that occur in the United States hit Florida.[6]
The difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane is wind speed – tropical storms usually bring winds of 36 to 47 mph, whereas hurricane wind speeds are at least 74 mph.[7]
Hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around the eye. The rotating storm clouds create the "eye wall," which is the most destructive part of the storm.[8]
Hurricanes are classified into 5 categories, based on their wind speeds and potential to cause damage. Names can be "retired" if a hurricane has been really big and destructive. Retired names include Katrina, Andrew, Mitch and most recently Sandy.[9]
When the National Hurricane Center began giving official names to storms in 1953, they were all female. This practice of using only women’s names ended in 1978.[10]
The costliest hurricane to make landfall was Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 storm that slammed Louisiana in August of 2005. Damages cost an estimated $108 billion.[11]
The answer would be Cement,Bricks, and rock salt because in Florida they mine for hard materials
The correct answer is actually A) The block would have friction and a dynamic cart could be used.
I have a screenshot attached.
Hope that helps!
Good luck! :)
Halons and cfc’s both destroy ozone layer in the stratosphere.
- Chemicals with carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms are known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and they are neither poisonous nor combustible.
- They are employed as solvents, refrigerants, blowing agents for foams and packaging materials, and in the production of aerosol sprays.
- Halons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and chlorofluorocarbons all damage the ozone layer, which protects the planet from damaging ultraviolet (UV-B) rays from the sun.
- Additionally warming the earth's lower atmosphere, CFCs and HCFCs alter the climate on a global scale.
- Life on earth is made possible by the stratospheric ozone layer, which protects the planet from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) rays.
- Ozone in the upper atmosphere is destroyed by man-made substances such halons, hydrofluorocarbons, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
