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.
Why do hurricanes start in September?
Hurricane season actually starts in June and some storms have been documented earlier. However, August and September are the most active months for Atlantic hurricanes because that is when the oceans are warmest. Warm ocean water is the most important factor for hurricane formation.
What is the defining factor that changes a storms status from tropical storm to hurricane?

passing over cooler water or land
What multiplying factor decrease a number by 3 percent?

Does high pressure control hurricane?
It dpends on what you mean. A hurricane itself is a low pressure system. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. However, high pressure systems often play an important role in directing where a hurricane will go, though they are not the only factor.
Would a growth factor increase or decrease cyclin levels?
decrease.
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.

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.
