Crazy Cyclones
What are Cyclones? Room three
have been researching about
natural disasters such as
cyclones and other natural disasters.
How it happens:
For cyclones to form they
need, a warm still ocean to
form with a temperature over
26.5 degrees.
Cold air will warm up and rise
into the sky. The stages of a
cyclone are origin, mature
and dissipation.
Parts of a cyclone:
Warm, rising air which helps
form the shape of the cyclone.
Rain bands, which collect rain
so when, the cyclone hits land
it starts raining. The eye, is the
calmest part of a cyclone. Eye
wall, the eye wall is made with
really strong winds and the wind
of the, eye wall is as strong as steel.
The outflow, is what helps the cyclone spin.
Maori Connection:
The Maori connection is that
Tāwhirimātea is the god of wind
and storms.
Example of how it impacts New Zealand:
Cyclone bola hit New Zealand in 1988.
Most of the damage of cyclone bola
was covered up by trees. There was
over a meter of rain in three days in
march. When cyclone bola was
happening there were lots of
shallow landslides. Lots of people
were injured in cyclone bola.
How to get through it:
Make sure you have an emergency
getaway kit in your house. Check
your getaway kit to make sure you
have everything, in case you have
to move somewhere else in a hurry.
Close anything you have open that
leads to the outdoors such as doors
and windows.
Other interesting facts or trivia:
The eye of a cyclone can be up
to one hundred kilometers wide.
A cyclone can be measured to
one thousand kilometers from the eye.
Conclusion:
Cyclones are a dangerous
disaster and you should
always be wary of when
a cyclone, might hit the
land! Cyclones could die
out in a few days but some
could last longer so you have
to, remember to be ready to
survive through one.
