Which factor has the greatest influence on beach erosion in a hurricane?
storm surge
Can a hurricane ever be more powerful than hurricane Katrina?
Yes. Hurricane Katrina was incredibly destructive, but it was by no means the strongest hurricane on record. At peak intensity, Hurricane Katrina has sustained winds of 175 mph and a minimum central pressure of 902 millibars (lower pressure means a stronger storm). The position for highest sustained winds for an Atlantic hurricane is tied between Hurricane Camille (1969) and Hurricane Allen (1980), both of which peaked with sustained winds of 190 mph. In terms of pressure, Katrina is the 6th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record. First place goes to Hurricane Wilma, with a minimum central pressure of 882 millibars. The severity of a storm's impact is not purely a result of its intensity. In factm by landfall, Katrina had weakened to a 125 mph category 3. The incredible destruction from Katrina resulted from a combination of the storm's strength, large size, and where it hit. The major factor was the failure of the levees in New Orleans.

What is the defining factor that changes a storms status from tropical storm to hurricane?
The difference between tropical storms and Hurricanes are simply the strength and/or size. Some tropical storms strengthen, and develop into Hurricanes, while some Hurricanes, as they weaken, fall into the area of tropical storms.
What tool does the meteorologist use to know where and when a hurricane will strike?
Hurricanes take time to develop and they and the systems that can develop into hurricanes are fairly easily identified from weather satellites. Forecast models are run that try to predict how a hurricane will interact with the surrounding weather systems and conditions. Meteorologists use this information to try to figure out what a hurricane is most likely to do.

Would a growth factor increase or decrease cyclin levels?
decrease.
What caused the Illinois River largemouth bass population low?
Pollution was a small factor but the largest factor is the spread of the Asian Carp which feed on algae and surface insects. This causes a disruption in the entire river ecosystem all the way to the largemouth bass causing a decrease in available food and therefore a decrease in population.
What is the definition of limiting factor?
it is an environmental factor that causes a population to decrease.
What factor determines a category 3 hurricane?
Wind speed is the determining factor. A hurricane is classified as category 3 if the sustained winds fall into the range of 111-129 mph.
What is the it called when factor that causes population growth to decrease?
It is called a limiting factor.
A simple pendulum has a frequency of oscillation f In order to double f the length of the pendulum should be?
decrease by a factor of 4
What is a strength factor' in a bridge?

Would the mold growth increase or decrease if bread was put in the refrigerator?
Decrease. The refrigerator removes the warmth factor and the damp factor that mold needs to form.
