Do banana's need a lot of water to grow?
Yes, they are a tropical plant.
How does a leaky faucet waste water if the water simply returns to the environment?
It doesn't waste water, but it does waste energy. The water coming out of your faucet is water that has been cleaned and filtered, which requires energy. If you waste that water, you are ultimately wasting energy.
Which of these substances can be found in three forms on the earth?
water
Is water a source of energy in the body?
The sources of energy in the body are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, being burned in the presence of oxygen. But the chemical reactions required to consume this energy do require water, and in fact produce water and carbon dioxide as byproducts. So water is needed for energy consumption, but it's not itself a source of energy.
What are 2 forms of water pollution?
Two kinds of Water pollution is acid and garbage.
What is a large swirling storm forms over warm tropical water called?
The general term for such a storm is tropical cyclone. However, they may be called tropical storms, hurricanes, typhoons, or simply cyclones depending on their intensity and where they occur.
What is a swirling storm that forms over warm tropical water called?
A Hurricane
What is a large swirling storm that forms over warm tropical water?
A Hurricane
How does energy from the sun power hurricanes?
The sun heats the ocean, causing some water to evaporate. In tropical areas with very warm water this makes the air quite humid. The water vapor in warm, moist air carries quite a bit of energy. When the moisture condenses to form storm clouds that energy is released.
What weather system forms only over warm ocean water?
A hurricane, also known as a tropical cyclone, forms over warm ocean water when the conditions are right. Warm water provides the energy for the storm to strengthen and develop, creating the intense winds and heavy rainfall characteristic of hurricanes.
When hurricanes have everythingthey need to form how come they stop?
Its like adding fuel to a fire and then stopping. When a hurricane forms, it is generally over the tropical warm waters from where it gets its energy. As these waters evaporate they give a storm energy and mass in the way of water vapor and clouds. The more the evaporation, the greater the storm. As the storm moves to cooler water temperatures, it gets less fuel from the sea and will lessen in strength. If it passes over land, it loses all of its power and quickly becomea a tropical depression or just a thunderstorm.
What weather system forms only over warm oceans?
Hurricanes
What is a large swirling storm that form over tropical water called?
A name that's given to a tropical cyclone is cyclone Tracy
Why do tropical storms become hurricanes?
A tropical storm is a low pressure area of organized thunderstorms. If conditions are right, and the storm is over warm enough water, the low pressure will draw in warm, moist air. As this air rises in the storm the moisture condenses and releases energy. This causes the pressure in the storm to decrease, which gives it an even stronger pull on the air, resulting in faster winds. When sustained winds reach 74 mph, the tropical storm is considered a hurricane.
What storm forms over water and is destructive?
Hurricanes
Why do tropical hurricanes need ocean temperatures of at least 80 degrees to form?
Tropical hurricanes can form at temperatures of less than 80 degrees but become more powerful when the water temperature is higher. When the wind from a hurricane sweeps across warm ocean water it evaporates easily. When that water vapor rises and turns back into rain, it gives off 540cal/g. That produces the energy that produces the wind that drives the storm. When the water is cooler, the storm has less energy that it can pull from the water. When a storm sits still over an area, it cools down the water and loses strength.
Is tropical cyclones another way of saying Tornado?
No. A tropical cyclone is a storm such as a tropical storm, hurricane, or typhoon. In other words, a large-scale storm system the develops over warm ocean water. A tornado is a small-scale but intense vortex that is not necessarily tropical and can easily form over land.
