Answer:

High winds, hail, excessive precipitation, and wildfires are forms and effects of severe weather, as are thunderstorms, downbursts, tornadoes, waterspouts, tropical cyclones, and extratropical cyclones. Regional and seasonal severe weather phenomena include blizzards (snowstorms), ice storms, and duststorms.

Explanation:High winds-  wind speeds as low as 23 knots (43 km/h) may lead to power outages when tree branches fall and disrupt power lines. Once wind exceed 135 knots (250 km/h) within strong tropical cyclones and tornadoes, homes  completely collapse,  and significant damage is done to larger buildings. Total disruption occurs once wind exceeds 175 knots (324 km/h)

Tornado- Typically look like a narrow funnel reaching from the clouds to the ground. Their wind speed goes from 65 to 250 miles per hour.

"An extreme weather condition in which we face the high speed wind in combination with heavy snow."

As for any blizzard has the normal wind speed of about 40 mph, and the visibility range reduces to less then 500 ft.

A device employing a lens, shutter, and persistent light source that projects images from glass slides onto a flat white wall or cloth drape hung in the dark is image projection began with the MAGIC LANTERN

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The magic lantern works on the sliding runner technology. The image can be made larger in size and can be projected with the help of an optical device. When the technology of motion toy become older, this magic lantern is the modernized version of the motion toy technology. The modernization of the magic lantern was as an alternative of to motion-toy technology.

The photos and images that are taken can be increased in the size and projection can be made. These images can be enlarged in size by the help of a photographic images. this helps in image and also in taking photographs. This photographic image can be attached with Magic lantern. A long slide of glass helps in projecting the image on the walls or cloth drapes using magic lantern. This gives life to Shadows.

(a) Find the magnitude of an earthquake that has an intensity that is 37.25 (that is, the amplitude of the seismograph reading i
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of an earthquake is 5.6.

Explanation:

The magnitude of an earthquake can be found as follows:

M = log(\frac{I}{S})

Where:

I: is the intensity of the earthquake = 37.25 cm

S: is the intensity of a standard earthquake = 10⁻⁴ cm

Hence, the magnitude is:

M = log(\frac{I}{S}) = log(\frac{37.25}{10^{-4}}) = 5.6

Therefore, the magnitude of an earthquake is 5.6.

I hope it helps you!
