As a result of the storm with its high winds and high tides what happens to the bodies of Simon and the parachutist?
They are both taken out to sea, away from the island.
What contributes the storm surge?
"Storm surge" is the above-normal water level caused by tropical storms, especially by the high winds. The storm surge can be higher or lower than otherwise might be the case depending on the tides; a storm surge at high tides can be far more destructive than the storm at low tides.
Where do the water bulges occur on earth during the tides?
bulges of water in the ocean are called high tides.
Did the moon have to do anything with the tides in hurricane sandy?
Yes. The moon is the primary factor in the tides. High tides are highest and low tides are lowest during a full moon and a new moon. Hurricane Sandy made landfall in the U.S. at high tide during a full moon. As a result, the already large storm surge cam in on top of an already high water level from the tide.
Which conditions will result in high winds?
prevailing winds?

Why is hurricane Irma so dangerous?
Extrely high winds. They not only destroy structures with wind, but turn ordinary objects into projectiles. The winds also create a "storm surge", where the winds pile water up and cause flooding- as deep as 15 feet more than usual high tides.
The name given to high surface ocean levels as a result of hurricanes?
the temporary increase in ocean levels as a direct result of a hurricanes winds is called the storm surge.
How does the full moon and the new moon phases affect the east cost during a Nor'easter storm?
During the full moon and new moon the sprig tides occur, meaning the high tides are at their highest and the low tides are at their lowest. Large, intense storm systems such as nor'easters produce a storm surge as their winds push ocean water onto land, causing coastal flooding. If the storm surge comes in during high-tide the effect is called a storm tide as the two combine their heights and cause more flooding than if the storm surge could on its own. This is enhanced even more if it happens during the spring tides. By contrast, if the storm surge comes in at low tide, the flooding will be reduced.
What is the name of the hurricane like storm with high winds and rain?
A hurricane is a "storm with high winds and rain". You might want to be a bit more specific.Or not. Maybe you mean one of "tropical storm", "typhoon", "gale" (though strictly speaking that just means high winds).

Why do lifeguards make you get out of the water when a storm is approaching?
Thunder storms can produce lightening which can strike you in the water (or next to you) and electrocute you shocking and killing you. In addition, in the ocean, the waves can be pushed by storm winds and cause rip tides and high surf causing drowning possibilities.
Which conditions will result in high winds?
prevailing winds?
What does force 9 gale mean?
This is a rating of winds on the Beaufort scale, which is described on wikipedia. Force 9 winds are considered a 'strong gale' and result in waves 23-32 feet high.
What are high winds a result of?
high winds are normally caused by the unequal heating of the earths surface.
