Which directions do storms usually blow?
In Australia, we usually get storms from the west or southwest direction. I dont know why, but it is very rare for them to come from any other direction, and if they do it is usually from the east or south east direction
What is poleward heat transport?
Poleward heat transport is described as the meridional flow of latent heat and sensible heat from tropical to middle and high latitudes in response to latitudinal imbalances in radiational heating and cooling. It is caused by air mass exchanges, storms, and ocean circulation.
Are there any benefits to hurricanes or tropical storms?
Yes. Tropical cyclones (the generic term hurricanes, tropical storms, typhoons etc) produce large amounts of rain. This can bring relief to drought-stricken areas. The rain can also clear pollutants out of the air. Tropical cyclones are also one of several systems that bring heat from the tropics to the middle and sometimes higher latitudes. This helps keep the tropics from getting to hot and temperate areas from getting too cold.
How do hurricane hunters collect data from the middle of a hurricane?
The hurricane hunters have satelites that tells them were all the storms are going on just like meteorologist use satelites to find weather and storms.
Where can hail be found?
Hail is found anywhere thunderstorms occur, especially severe storms. This would be most places in the mid-latitudes, especially continental locations. The tropics have lots of thunderstorms but not as many generate hail.

The temperature differences between low and high latitudes cause?
cause storms
Why do tornadoes travel faster than hurricanes?
Hurricanes are tropical weather systems while significant tornadoes generally occur in the temperate latitudes. The wind currents that move storms in the tropics are generally weaker than those that move storms in the temperate latitudes.

When a warm humid air mass is pushed ahead of a cold front what sometimes forms?
Storms and most likely severe storms.
Why do most storms move from the west coast of America to the east?
The prevailing winds blow from west to east at these latitudes

When do storms start in the spring?
That depends on where you are, and what the weather patterns are. _____ in the middle
What is the exterior atmosphere on Jupiter?
Jupiter is the fifth and largest planet in the Solar System. It is a gas giant, and the atmosphere is segregated into several bands at different latitudes creating turbulence and storms.
