Impact of Hurricane
- Animals and plants can be wiped out during hurricanes as a result of devastating winds, flooding, and storm surge.
- Animals that depend on these creatures as a food source can die if there is no other alternative source of food.
- Beaches are most affected by hurricanes and are eroded when storms hit coasts. Beachfront creatures can be swept away by violent hurricanes.
- Furthermore, erosion and sediment deposition typically affect coral reefs. Hurricanes introduce salt water into nearby creeks and freshwater lakes. As a result, a huge fish died. It also destroys other lake habitats.
- Hurricanes have the potential to have a significant impact on agriculture. For example, hurricanes produce heavy rains and strong winds which can kill cattle and damage crops.
- Building collapse can result in injury and death. But the greatest impacts of hurricanes happen after the storm.
What is Hurricane?
Among tropical cyclones, a hurricane is one of them. A tropical cyclone is a weather system that rotates rapidly. It is characterized by a low-pressure centre and a closed atmospheric circulation at low elevations. It also has an arrangement of thunderstorms which is a spiral that produces heavy rain. A hurricane occurs in the northeast of the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the northwest of the Pacific Ocean, or in the Indian Ocean. The biggest and most destructive storms on Earth are hurricanes.
