  • Essay / Natural Disasters - 2621

    Natural Disasters As this is my main project, I wanted to tackle a topic that I found interesting. Although I find most topics interesting in these areas, none capture my attention as much as natural disasters. I have always found disasters intriguing and wanted to know more about them. The disaster I found most interesting was hurricanes. The thought of these storms and their power gives me chills. Ever since I was in the middle of Hurricane Bob while vacationing with my family off the coast of Virginia and the State Police asked us to evacuate our home, I wanted to know more on hurricanes. Since then, I have been able to take courses that have allowed me to learn more about hurricanes. This is why I decided to focus my article on hurricanes. Additionally, I will examine the economic effects of hurricanes on the United States. There are several reasons why I chose to use this variable. The main reason is that I couldn't think of another topic that would fit everyone's life and have an effect on everyone. The hurricane year is divided into two seasons. They are called the start and end of the season. The first season begins on June 1st and ends on September 10th. The end of the season begins on September 10 and ends at the end of November. The date September 10 is the middle date between the two seasons. This is the date that separates the start of the season. This brings me to the subject of my research. I write about the differences between early and late season hurricanes and how they affect the variable mentioned earlier in the paper. I think late season hurricanes cause more economic losses than early season hurricanes. I'll start by explaining what a hurricane is and how they form. Then I'll explain where they form in relation to the seasons and why in those locations. I will then talk about the paths taken by these hurricanes depending on the seasons. Next, I'll compare the storms from each season from different years, starting in 1988 and ending in 1995. Then, I'll give a brief history of some of the biggest storms ever hit and how they compare to the span of years over which I did some research. Data from all storm years in terms of loss of both variables will come next, followed by the real...... middle of paper ......; Another reason why the end of the season caused more damage was that the season had more hurricanes and there was also more damage on land. One of the biggest early-season hurricanes was Felix in 1995. It never made landfall. The average landing category at the start of the season (excluding Andrew) was 1.8. The average for the end of the season was 2.6 (Purdue). Many other non-significant hurricanes brought this number down, but because there were so many, it averaged out. After looking at all the data, I feel like I'm not entirely right about my theory, but I found some good solid evidence. The biggest problem with the project is that it is very difficult to predict Earth's climate patterns. If it were easy, my project would have been one hundred percent successful. I am happy with the work I did and was happy to research the material. I enjoyed learning about hurricanes and how they work. My impression is that most major hurricanes occur late in the season and take one of two main paths. This causes more economic damage than if he had to follow the other path at the start of the season. I hope one day the climate will be much easier to predict.
