Earth. Hurricane Katrina has left more than half of million people homeless and hundreds of thousand living in shelters. Read some facts about hurricanes.

HURRICANE

Слайд 4

The word 'hurricane' comes from 'Hurican,' who is the Carib god

of evil.
There are about 10 hurricanes around the world each year and they all start over warm, tropical oceans.

Слайд 5

As hurricanes get close to land, they suck up water from

the sea. The winds can make waves as tall as a skyscraper!
Tornadoes form when warm, humid air collides with cold, dry air.
• Hurricanes only break up on reaching cold water or land.

Слайд 6

A hurricane, cyclone and typhoon are all the same thing, except

a hurricane refers to a swirling storm above the North Atlantic Ocean, a cyclone to the Indian Ocean and a typhoon to the Pacific Ocean.

Слайд 7

It’s one of the Earth's most violent events, nearly a thousand

tornadoes—many of them deadly—touch down every year in the United States. Every U.S. state has experienced twisters, but Texas holds the record: an annual average of 120.
The deadliest hurricane happened in 1900, when 6,000 people died, mainly in Texas, the USA.

Слайд 8

Although hurricanes can cause a lot of damage, they are important

because they transfer heat and energy from the equator to the poles.
Since 1954, names have been given to hurricanes in alphabetical order, so people don't get confused when they listen to weather forecasts.
