Hurricane Irene Project


Critical Thinking
1.   What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
 * If the temperature is warm the hurricane will be survive.
2.   Why would there be more damage to an area during high tide?
 * The sea level goes up and its cause flooding
 3.   If an area is fully saturation, how will this be more dangerous for an                area?
 *When its start raining, the ground will be saturated and the ground cannot take any water in.
 4.   Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated?
 * Then water would not go to under the ground it will stay on the ground. The water keeps cycling.
