Extreme weather can cause property damage, death, and injury in a variety of ways.

Extreme winds, such as those found in hurricanes, tornadoes, and some thunderstorms can overturn trailers, tear off roofs, and topple trees. Some of the strongest tornadoes can demolish houses completely. People may be knowcked down or struck by debris and many places may lose electricity.

Flooding and storm surges can destroy buildings and roads, contaminate water supplies, and drown people.

Large hail can damage cars and roofs, and destroy crops, but rarely kill people.

Barometer are used to predict weather because weather is related to changing what?

The weather changes in relation to the air pressure. Air molecules always travel towards low pressure where there is less force acting on them. This has an effect on the weather. Generally, high pressure means good weather and low pressure means bad weather. Barometers measure the pressure, often in Hectopascals.


What effects does a cold front have on weather?

A cold front typically brings cooler temperatures, gusty winds, and a shift in weather conditions. It often causes the air to become less humid, leading to clearer skies and a decrease in precipitation. Thunderstorms and severe weather can also be associated with the passage of a cold front.
