STORM

STORM
Storm is a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and
usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow.
 
It may be marked by significant disruptions to normal conditions such as
strong wind, tornados, hail, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm),
heavy precipitation (snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain (ice
storm), strong winds (tropical cyclone, windstorm), or wind transporting
some substance through the atmosphere as in a dust storm, blizzard,
sandstorm, etc
Types of Storms Some types of
storms are:
A blizzard is a severe winter storm that has heavy snow fall, heavy
winds and extremely low temperature. If these are combined it
causes a blizzard and even damage buildings or collapse roofs.
Hail Storms can cause heavy damage to buildings and cars. Hail is a
type of ice that comes in huge sizes.
A hurricane can be one of the most powerful storms, hurricanes can be
very destructive due to their high winds, heavy rainfall etc
Lightning can cause a lot of damage due to it starting wild fire,
damaging property. It usually starts when the clouds clash together.
Causes

Storms are created when a center of low pressure develops with a


system of high pressure surrounding it. This combination of
opposing forces can create winds and result in the formation of
storm clouds, such as the cumulonimbus. Small localized areas of
low pressure can form from hot air rising off hot ground, resulting
in smaller disturbances such as dust devils and whirlwinds.
How do storms effect society?
Imagine a earth quake or a hurricane or even a tornado, hits a
nuclear reactor. What would happen? What would happen is that the
nuclear reactor will explode and radiation would be everywhere. If
radiation is everywhere, everyone inside the city would die due to
this storm.
How do storms effect society?

Another example is that a flood or hurricane hit a capital


that is next to the sea, If that capital is hit, the
management for the nation would be destroyed and the
leaders inside that capital could be killed and it would cost
them years to redevelop.
Summary:

Storms can destroy societies by ruining its facilities and residential


areas.
Rebuilding the country would be more expensive due to removal of
waste caused by the stormvironment or astronomical body´s
atmosphere especially affecting its Surface, and strongly implying
severe weather.
