I need 10 facts about Hurricanes for Science

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Hurricanes are large, spiraling tropical storms that can pack wind speeds of over 160 mph and unleash more than 2.4 trillion gallons of rain a day.The deadliest U.S. hurricane on record was a Category 4 storm that hit the island city of Galveston Texas. When they come onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars. The heavy waves are called a storm surge.The difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane is wind speed – tropical storms usually bring winds of 36 to 47 mph, whereas hurricane wind speeds are at least 74 mph.Hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around the eye. The rotating storm clouds create the "eye wall," which is the most destructive part of the storm.Hurricanes are classified into 5 categories, based on their wind speeds and potential to cause damage. Names can be "retired" if a hurricane has been really big and destructive. Retired names include Katrina, Andrew, Mitch and most recently Sandy.When the National Hurricane Center began giving official names to storms in 1953, they were all female. This practice of using only women’s names ended in 1978.The costliest hurricane to make landfall was Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 storm that slammed Louisiana in August of 2005. Damages cost an estimated $108 billion.

Explain why some organisms can be both a primary and secondary consumer

Answers

Some organisms can be both primary and secondary consumers depending on their position in the food chain. There are some organisms that are omnivores-- an organism that consumes both plants and animals. A perfect example of an omnivores are humans. Humans both consume plants and meat of animals. They can be primary consumers when they directly eat vegetables and fruits. They can also be secondary consumers when they consume the meat of a cow, wherein the cow is the primary consumer who eats plants. 
Because the organisms could be omnivores, meaning that they consume the producers (primary) and also feeds on the organisms in the primary sector (secondary)

Organisms with advantageous adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce than organisms without the advantageous adaptations. This phenomena is known as natural selection.In order for natural selection to occur
A.) organisms within a population must have some genetic variation.
B.) there must be more male organisms than female organisms.
C.) all of the organisms within a population must be exactly the same.
D.) one population must become extinct so another can be created.

Answers

Inorder for natural selection to occur organisms within a population must havesome genetic variation. Naturalselection is when species learn to adapt to their environment. They could (1)differential reproduction, that is, not all organisms are able to reproduce totheir fullest capacity because nature cannot simply sustain it and (2) acquire genes,that is heredity. Certain characteristics of organisms tend to survive if itcontinues to strive. If it survives, this trait is passed down to the nextgenerations forgetting the other traits but only the one who could survive theenvironment. Therefore it is true that natural selection is when‘organisms inherit advantageous traits, and tend to reproduce more successfullythan other organisms’.

A. organisms within a population must have some genetic variation.

Which of the following populations would be least likely to survive a change in its ecosystem? A. brown bears that can eat a variety of different kinds of food B. koalas that eat only eucalyptus leaves C. grasses that can grow in normal or contaminated soil D. bacteria that can grow in both hot and cold environments

Answers

koalas that eat only eucalyptus leaves C. would least likely survive in a change of ecosystem.

What are the Kaolas?

The koala or koala bear refer to arboreal herbivorous marsupial that are majorly found in Australia. It is the only remaining representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest living relatives are the wombats.

They survive in most climate.

Therefore, koalas that eat only eucalyptus leaves C. would least likely survive in a change of ecosystem.

Answers

Answer: B.  Atmospheric water is affected by local winds, landforms, and ocean currents.

Explanation:

The weather refers to the condition of the atmosphere that includes the precipitation, cloudiness, pressure, visibility and temperature of air. The five factors which determines the weather pattern of an area are the availability of the solar radiation, local wind current and direction,elevation of the landforms like mountains, nearness of the water bodies like river and ocean, relative temperature of water and land, the number of storm involved in the thunderstorm, hurricanes and cyclones. These factors affect the amount of moisture in the atmosphere will result in the rainfall, humidity and hot dry day.

Based on above explanation, B is the correct option.
