Interview of tropical cyclone ​

Geography

A tropical cyclone (TC) is a rotational low-pressure system in tropics when the central pressure falls by 5 to 6 hPa from the surrounding and maximum sustained wind speed reaches 34 knots (about 62 kmph). It is a vast violent whirl of 150 to 800 km, spiraling around a centre and progressing along the surface of the sea at a rate of 300 to 500 km a day.
The word cyclone has been derived from Greek word ‘cyclos’ which means ‘coiling of a snake’. The word cyclone was coined by Heary Piddington who worked as a Rapporteur in Kolkata during British rule. The terms "hurricane" and "typhoon" are region specific names for a strong "tropical cyclone". Tropical cyclones are called “Hurricanes” over the Atlantic Ocean and “Typhoons” over the Pacific Ocean. The reason is that the earth's rotation sets up an apparent force (called the Coriolis force) that pulls the winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere (and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere). So, when a low pressure starts to form over north of the equator, the surface winds will flow inward trying to fill in the low and will be deflected to the right and a counter-clockwise rotation will be initiated. The opposite (a deflection to the left and a clockwise rotation) will occur south of the equator.
This Coriolis force is too tiny to effect rotation in, for example, water that is going down the drains of sinks and toilets. The rotation in those will be determined by the geometry of the container and the original motion of the water. Thus, one can find both clockwise and counter-clockwise flowing drains no matter what hemisphere you are located. If you don't believe this, test it out for yourself.

Answer:  If the coordinates are D: (-2,3) and E: (-4.-5)

the distance between the coordinates is about 8.25

Explanation: Use the Pythagorean Theorem  a² + b² = c²

Imagine a triangle formed on the grid of the graph with the difference in y values as the altitude, the difference in x-values as the base and c is the hypotenuse, the distance between the coordinates.

The difference in the y-values is 3 -(-5) = 8

The difference in the x-values is -2 -(-4) = 2

8² + 2² = c²

64 + 4 = 68   To find c, take the square root of c²

√68 = 8.246211251

Rounding to the nearest hundredths, that is 8.25

Question 5 of 15
fredd [130]
<h2>The following are the events in a story of how people have interacted with a landscape put into chronological order: </h2><h2> </h2>

1. Dense forest with large trees on steep hills: There were steep hills covered by forests made by large trees. The roots of these trees ceased soil erosion from happening.

2. Hand logging near lakes: People began to cut trees for wood but the pace was not as fact.

3. Mechanized logging throughout hills: Techniques of mechanized logging were developed and which helped in clearing the trees from over the hills within months.

4. Erosion fills lakes with silt: Clearing of forests from over the hills caused soil erosion and the silt from the hills flowed down with rainwater runoff.
