 Bill’s path
Here is a map
showing the path of
Bill went when it
was active in
August.
As you see Bill some
how manage to get
near Canada.
 How it got far
While Bill was on it’s path, it’s the first time it missed
Bermuda and stayed out in the sea.
Since hurricane Bill was formed in the southern
hemisphere, it grew very strong during it’s journey
to the northern hemisphere.
Once it got to the northern hemisphere, Bill was
starting to weaken because of the difference in water
temperature. When the water get colder, the cyclone
get weaker.
Also, when a cyclone is on the earth, it cannot get
more water in, so I can’t become bigger, and finish
by disappearing.
Bill hit’s
Canada

able to hit some land from
Canada

 Like all the other cyclones
