What causes some tropicals storms to become hurricanes?
Increased wind speed. The distinction between "tropical storm" and "hurricane" is made based on wind speed. Some tropical storms pick up energy from warm water, increase their wind speed, and become hurricanes. Others don't.
When the pressure in hurricane gets lower or higher what does the wind do?
The lower the barometric pressure is in a hurricane, the stronger the wind will be. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water and the lower the pressure is, the more moisture that will be attracted from the water. This warm moisture rises up and forms into clouds and wind, so the more moisture is rising, the stronger the winds will be. If the barometric pressure is high, the moisture can't move up and form clouds and wind.
What is a type of wind erosion?
it will pick up stuff and move stuff taking a part out of a peice of rock
Is wind the strongest agent of erosion?
Wind speed is certainly a contributing factor to the amount of erosion. The higher the wind speed, the more force it has against objects. This means that it can push deeper into the soil to loosen and blow away more soil particles than a milder wind.
How does wind cause erosion?
The wind picks up tiny particles of sand and dirt and blows it into whatever it is eroding. That's why sometimes you see things that are only eroded to a certain height, because the wind can't lift the particles that high. Wind causes erosion by picking up small bits of gravel,sand, and small rocks and blows them onto a surface. Five agents of erosion are glaciers, moving water, water, wind and waves. Well, wind causes erosion by blowing sand, dirt, water on beaches, etc. When the wind blows on ( for example) sand, it pushes it, perhaps, downhill, and the sand is eroded away.
Is wind more damaging then water?
yes wind is strong than water,because wind can pick up thing and water can not answered by the smartest student
What does wind pick up when moving over bodies of water?
air
This occurs when running water sea waves wind or glaciers pick up and carry away materials?
the answer is erosion
Why dont typhoon from over land?
Typhoons don't form over land because they are created when the surface of the ocean must be warm enough for water to easily evaporate. Then, the water starts spinning by the fast evaporation and becomes a tropical cyclone. Wind speeds pick up and form into high winds. If the wind speeds pick up to over 75 MPH, that makes it officially a typhoon. Typhoons cannot be formed over land because typhoon are made of water.
does water move in a tornado?
There are water droplets in a tornadoes, which move with the wind. Tornadoes on water pick up some spray, as well. In such instances the water can bugle up a little under the tornado, especially on small lakes and ponds.
Why is it that the warmer the water the warmer the land?
because the winds blowing in from the ocean pick up the temperature from the water so the wind is the same temperature as the top layer of the water, so when the wind blows in from the coast it either warms or cools the land depending on the water temperature.
How tall can wind turbines get?
Wind turbines can be up to 262 feet high.
How do you get high powered pistol in red dead redemption?
have a shootout with the cops in black water and pick up the weapons thay drop
How does wind move different sizes of sediment?
The most important factor in the ability for wind to move sediments is how fast the wind is blowing. An extremely fast wind (think hurricanes) can move huge sizes of sediments as well as the small stuff. A light breeze, on the other hand, can barely pick up small grains. As the wind picks stuff up, so does it drop stuff down. Bigger sediments will travel much shorter distances due to the fact that the wind can't necessarily sustain high speeds for long distances. The smallest stuff will travel the furthest. This principle of sorting is true in all types of erosion, from water to ice to, obviously, wind.
Why are energy wind mills so high up in the air?
so they get more wind

When the wind can pick up material from one spot and deposit it somewhere else and its called?
erosion
