Hurricane Irene Project

Critical Thinking

1.What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
A: The effect is that the warmer the water is the more energy there is to making the hurricane more worse that means if the hurricane can not be made with cold temperature.

2. Why would there be more damage to an area during high tide?
A:  The high tide in the area will be more damage from the destruction of buildings, roads, soil will become much smoother. Will be more damage  because the water is already higher.

3. If an area is fully saturated, how will this be more dangerous for an area?
A: If an area is saturated and then the hurricane hits will be a flood because your area has a lot of water.

4. Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated? 
A: When the hurricane strikes the ground within water moves.
