Hurricane Irene Project

CRITICAL THINKING

1) What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
The warm temperature of the ocean water is one of the hurricane's causses that makes the hurricane begin and become stronger.

2) Why would be more damage to an area during high tide?
In the area of the high tide wil be more damage the destruction of buildings, roads, the ground will become much softer.

3) If an area is fully saturated, how will this be more dangerous for an area?
If an area is saturated and the hurricane hits it then its will be a flooding because an area has a lot of water.

4) Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated?
Because when the hurricane  hits the ground the water moves.
