Olivia Ince “The impact of tropical storms Katrina and Nargis were beyond the scope of government to manage effectively” Discuss. Tropical storms have different names depending on their location i.e.‚ in North America and the Caribbean they are known as hurricanes whereas in India and Bangladesh they are known as cyclones. There are various factors which need to be in place for a tropical storm to occur including sea temperatures to be over 27ºC to provide a source of energy‚ warm water extending

How Vegetation In The Tropical Rainforests Adapts To The Climate Conditions. In the tropical rainforest the climate is very humid due to the vast amount of rainfall‚ which can be up to 2‚000 mm per year. They high temperatures vary little‚ but the average is around 27°C. This climate makes it very good conditions for plants to grow in. However‚ many plants have had to adapt to survive in the harsh conditions of the tropical rainforest. Some trees grow buttress roots which is when large‚ thick roots

The tropical monsoon climate is found in those regions where there is a complete seasonal reversal of winds. It is mainly found beyond the equatorial region between 10° and 25° North and South of the Equator. On-shore summer winds blowing from over tropical warm oceans generate the abundant precipitation‚ while the off-shore winds from over land make the weather dry during winter. The most clearly defined monsoon climates are located in the coastal areas of the eastern and southern Asia. For example

Our ancestors lived in harsh environments in the Savanna Desert and struggled to stay alive. Over time‚ our ancestors started settling down‚ eventually they came up with little ways to make their life easier.

A tropical cyclone is a rapidly-rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center‚ strong winds‚ and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain. Tropical cyclones typically form over large bodies of relatively warm water. They derive their energy from the evaporation of water from the ocean surface‚ which ultimately recondenses into clouds and rain when moist air rises and cools to saturation. This energy source differs from that of mid-latitude cyclonic storms‚ such
