The Challenge Of Natural Hazards

Question 1

what is the parts of the global atmospheric

Answer 1

its split into 3 polar cell ferrel cell hardly cell

Question 2

what is global atmosphere circulation

Answer 2

is the tansfer of heat from the equator to the poles by the movement of air i.e
how air moves heat around the wold

Question 3

why dose air move in the first place

Answer 3

air moves due to difference in air pressure wind blow from high pressure to low pressure

Question 4

what did difference between worn air and cold air

Answer 4

warm air rises and its low pressure
cold air skins and its high pressure

Question 5

how dose global atmospheric work

Answer 5

the hole system is driven by the equator (which is the hottest part if the earth) the air rises(air warming) at the equator leading to low pressure and rainfall when the air reaches the edge of the atmosphere it cannot go any further and so it travels north and south the air becomes colder and denser and falls creating high pressure and dry conditions at around 30 degrees north and south

Question 6

why dose it become colder and denser

Answer 6

because its no longer where the equator is

Question 7

what are the causes of trophicak storms and sequence of their formation of development

Answer 7

sea levels above 27
around summer autumn time
the distance from the equator
8-20 and 5 of the equator

Question 8

how dose tropical form

Answer 8

the sun heats the ocean to 27 causing it to evaporation
the most warm air rises quickly
the air rises ir cools and it condenses creating large clouds (coulombs)
the large clouds bring lots of rainfall
as makes in form clouds the storm beak up the centre of the storm in strong winds
the air skins in the eye
tropical storm travels across the ocean

Question 9

how might climate affect tropical storms

Answer 9

increase in temperature may affect where tropical storms occur they might affects places that haven’t experienced it
its fiffuclt to predict
topical storms are getting more intense

Question 10

why do tropical storms spin

Answer 10

the Coriolis effect makes tropical storms spin

Question 11

case study typhoon Haiyan

Answer 11

the storm started at 9am Friday in the Philippines it headed south and west

Question 12

what date did typhoon Haiyan start

Answer 12

feb 2013

Question 13

how fast did the storm go

Answer 13

195mph

Question 14

how warm did the sea levels go up to

Answer 14

39 degrees

Question 15

what was the effects and response to typhoon Haiyan

Answer 15

primary effect
40000homes damaged
strong wind damaged buildings and power lines cut off

secondary
flood caused landscape black roads
30000 fish boats destroyed
power supplies were cut off for a mouth

immediate effects
aid agencies replaced the fishing boats lost
us aircrafts and helicopters helped with search and resume

long term response
cyclone shelter were built to accommodate people evacuated from coastal areas

Question 16

how to monitor protection and plan tropical storms

Answer 16

planning
educating people is an effective way of ensuring people know what to do
e.g America have hurricane preparedness week

emergency generators allow a back up supply of electricity

hurricane warnings

proteting
shutters can be added to windows
furniture can be stopped to the floor or moved indoors
ensure vehicles have fuel so you can plan a evacuate quickly

monitoring
bicycles can be used to give warnings to remote communities
hurricane watch issues by the national hurricane centre advise when hurricane conditions are possible

Question 17

weather hazards in the uk

Answer 17

strom
heat wave
snow storms
thunder lightning
flooding

Question 18

why do uk experience wether hazards

Answer 18

the uk is like a roundabout because it is at the meeting point of several different types of weather from different directions

Question 19

uk extreme weather conditions in the uk

Answer 19

in 2018 beast from the east
killed 3 people
wind from 6mph - 70mph
brush air way cancelled
schools closed

2022
start Eunice schools closed 2000000 homes were left with nor power
one person died in Iceland
number of people injurys

Question 20

case study uk Somerset flood

Answer 20

its in the south west of England

Question 21

what’d dose the sourest flood cause

Answer 21

250mm rain fell in jannurary and feb
high tides and storms sugars swept water up from Bristol Channel
rivers had not been dredged from 20 years ago had become clogged

Question 22

what were the impacts of the Somerset floods

Answer 22

600 houses flooded (social )
16 farms evacuated(social)
power cut(social)
estimate cost 10million(economic)
heavy swages polluted rivers(envirmoental)

Question 23

how did we mange the somerset flood

Answer 23

20 million help[ to reduce risk future floods
food defences were built
river band had be raised up

Question 24

evidence of climate change

Answer 24

ice cones
are cylinders of ice taken from the snow which are found in places like the Atlantic oceans the outer the ice cone are to the ground the older the ice when look at the slice of ice bubbles of c02 more bubbles more c02

tree rings
when you cut a tree if they have bigger rings warmer climate then narrow ruins is wetter climate

melting of glaciers
when the tmeperture has increase the glaciers will melt

Question 25

what are the possible curses of climate

Answer 25

solar activity
darkspots appear in the sun the number of spots incase or decrease over 11 years when the sun activity is max it gives off more heat

volcanic activity
wept blast of ash and gass into the atmosphere the ash can black the sun reducing temp on the earth this happens in short term affects small droplets like Carrie can reflect the solar radiation

mlaankovit found out that the orbit changes shape
