What category storm was Cyclone Larry?

Answer 1

Cyclones are essentially caused by a combination of warm ocean temperatures, high humidity and low wind shear, which means differences in wind velocity and direction at different heights. If the wind shear is high, it can pull a cyclone apart. Low wind shear increases the chances of the cyclone developing. Cyclone Larry was caused by these factors, in particular, the warm waters of the Coral Sea, where it formed.

Answer 2

Severe Tropical Cyclone Larry was a tropical cyclone that made landfall in Australia in 2006. It started as a low pressure system over the eastern Coral Sea in mid-March, then formed into a tropical cyclone two days later, after which it intensified into a Category 5 cyclone. Larry made landfall in Far North Queensland close to Innisfail on March 20 as a Category 4 with wind gusts reaching 240 km/h (150 mph) and dissipated over land soon after. The total effects of Larry were nearly A$1 billion in damage and one death. The effects on Queensland's banana crops were especially devastating. The cyclone also caused considerble damage to the environment, such as: * damage to the Great Barrier Reef, by way of broken and dislodged coral, vegetation and beaches * fish and marine animals suffocated when their gills were filled with mud which resulted from the turbulent waters * extensive damage to rainforests, particularly rainforest remnants (which were less protected), not only by way of damaged trees and animal habitats. but by the intrusion of pervasive weeds and non-native plants from other areas; these weeds, such as Miconia, smother native plants and alter the structure of the environment

Answer 3

== == == Cyclone Larry reached the status of a Category 5 storm on the Australian Tropical Cyclone Scale while out at sea. When it made landfall in Far North Queensland Larry was rated as a Category 4 storm with wind gusts topping at 240 km/h (150 mph).

Answer 4

Cyclone Larry, like all cyclones, began as a low pressure system, and it first began to be monitored by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology as a low pressure system on 16 March 2006. It developed into a cyclone two days later, on 18 March.

Cyclone Larry then crossed the Queensland coast between between 6:20am and 7:20am on 20 March 2006.

Answer 5

Cyclone Larry formed in the Coral sea, off the Queensland coast, and made landfall at Innisfail, on the north Queensland coast.

Answer 6

Cyclone Larry started in the eastern part of the Coral Sea.

Answer 7

cyclone Larry occured due to the follwowing reason, this event happened because it occured in a low pressure area and is called El Nino
