Hurricane Irene Project

Critical Thinking

1.What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
Hurricane is a topical cyclone that happens in the summer when the water is warm. So in summer, there are higher chances of a hurricane to happen than in winter.
2.Why would there be more damage to an area during high tide?
Because when there is a high tide, means that the water level is high and that can cause flooding, saturation and damages.
3.If an area is fully saturated, how will this be more dangerous for an area?
In these saturated areas, the ground is too wet, and when the ground is too wet it can not handle it and that can cause damages.
4.Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated?
Because flooding is when water accumulate and covers every space, so if the ground would be saturated or too wet, it would cover every space and cause flooding.

I would collect more information to be more specific on my answers.
4.How did this project help you learn bout Hurricane Irene?
I didn't know a lot about Hurricanes until we started this project. This project helped me to understand more about this topic and learn more about it's causes and effects.
