When a Hurricane hits land, it creates huge waves, very heavy rains, and can cause flooding. Afterwards the storm will weaken rapidly.

If a baseball and a cannonball are dropped from the same height at the same time which ball will hit the ground first?
If there is no air, the same exact time. But because its on earth, the less dense and less aerodynamic one will land slightly after. Acceleration is about -9.8 meters per second every second
A cannon ball and a marble roll from rest down an inclineWhich gets to the bottom first?
In a vacuum, they would hit the ground at the same time. When falling in a medium, it is usual for ligher masses to have significant "flutter" in their path, allowing for thme to land a little later than their more massive companion. It will also be important form them to be kept some distance apart, and the smaller / lighter one can be "slipstreamed" behind the larger one.

A bowling ball and a bag of potato chips are dropped at the same time from a tall tower on Earth What happens?
The bowling ball will hit the ground fist not because it has more mass but because it is less affected by wind resistance [resistance to its movement through the air] If the effect of wind resistance where [somehow] negated they would hit the ground at the same time. [The bag of potato chips: Open or closed? Assumed closed for this answer]
Where did Hurricane Alvin hit?

Can cyclones hit Adelaide?
Cyclones cannot hit Adelaide. Cyclones form in warm tropical waters, and then follow warm currents, but no warm currents extend from Australia's warmer waters to the south where Adelaide is located.
Do cyclones always cause flooding?
Cyclones do not always cause flooding. Cyclone Tracy, which hit Darwin, Australia in 1974 ,was a classic example of a cyclone that hit violently causing widespread destruction, yet very little damage was caused by rain or flooding. Often cyclones degrade into tropical depressions when they hit land, and this is what causes the flooding, but there was very little rain associated with Cyclone Tracy compared to other cyclones.
Which part of the Philippines was hit by four tropical cyclones?

How many hurricanes hit Belize in 2009?
Remarkably, there were no tropical cyclones near Belize in 2009.
Why do cyclones eventually stop?
Once cyclones make landfall, they quickly lose intensity, and usually degenerate into a tropical depression, dumping heavy rain over an area. If they cross a relatively narrow peninsula, there is a good chance they will redevelop when they reach the open sea again.
Can a tornado hit Oman?
Yes. Oman can occasionally get tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones can produce tornadoes. That said, such tornadoes are usually weak, so tornadoes like the ones that devastate communities in the U.S. are unlikely.
Can cyclones hit over land?
Yes it can travel over earth
When do cyclones happen in America?
They can happen at any time. The United States gets two types of cyclones: tropical cyclones (tropiical storms and hurricanes) and mid-latitude cyclones. Tropical cyclones typically hit the United States in the later half of summer and early fall. Mid-latitude cyclones are more common and can occur at any time, but are most common and strongest in the colder half of the year.
Where do tropical cyclones hurricanes typhoons and cyclones start?
For hurricanes that hit the United States, mainly off of the northwest coast of Africa. They both accour when warm air and cool air gusts/winds combine and/or mix creating these tropical storms.
Which part of the world do tropical cyclones usually take place?
Tropical cyclones typically occur over tropical waters between 5 degrees and 22 degrees latitude, except for in the southeast Pacific and south Atlantic. They commonly occur off the northwest coast of Western Australia, in the Gulf of Carpentaria and in the Coral Sea.
When did a hurricane hit calfornia?
A California hurricane is a tropical cyclone, but usually only the remnants of tropical cyclones affect California. Since 1900, two tropical storms have hit California, one by direct landfall from offshore, another after making landfall in Mexico.
