What else can I help you with?
As a result of the storm with its high winds and high tides what happens to the bodies of Simon and the parachutist?
They are both taken out to sea, away from the island.
What contributes the storm surge?
"Storm surge" is the above-normal water level caused by tropical storms, especially by the high winds. The storm surge can be higher or lower than otherwise might be the case depending on the tides; a storm surge at high tides can be far more destructive than the storm at low tides.
Where do the water bulges occur on earth during the tides?
bulges of water in the ocean are called high tides.
Did the moon have to do anything with the tides in hurricane sandy?
Yes. The moon is the primary factor in the tides. High tides are highest and low tides are lowest during a full moon and a new moon. Hurricane Sandy made landfall in the U.S. at high tide during a full moon. As a result, the already large storm surge cam in on top of an already high water level from the tide.
Are high wind called storm surge?
No, high winds and storm surge are two different weather phenomena. High winds refer to the movement of air at high speeds, while storm surge is an abnormal rise in sea level during a storm that can cause flooding in coastal areas. Storm surge is typically caused by the strong winds and low pressure of a storm pushing water towards the shore.

What are the big waves and abnormally high ocean tides that occur during a typhoon called?
The big waves and abnormally high ocean tides that occur during a typhoon are called storm surges. These storm surges are caused by strong winds and low atmospheric pressure pushing water towards the shore, resulting in flooding and coastal damage.
Where do the water bulges occur on earth during the tides?
bulges of water in the ocean are called high tides.
Why is hurricane Irma so dangerous?
Extrely high winds. They not only destroy structures with wind, but turn ordinary objects into projectiles. The winds also create a "storm surge", where the winds pile water up and cause flooding- as deep as 15 feet more than usual high tides.
The name given to high surface ocean levels as a result of hurricanes?
the temporary increase in ocean levels as a direct result of a hurricanes winds is called the storm surge.
What is the name of the hurricane like storm with high winds and rain?
A hurricane is a "storm with high winds and rain". You might want to be a bit more specific.Or not. Maybe you mean one of "tropical storm", "typhoon", "gale" (though strictly speaking that just means high winds).
What is a storm tide?
A storm tide is an above-normal rise of water level caused by a storm, such as a hurricane or a tropical cyclone. It results from a combination of high astronomical tides and the low atmospheric pressure and strong onshore winds associated with the storm, leading to coastal flooding and potentially destructive impacts on coastal communities.
Did the moon have to do anything with the tides in hurricane sandy?
Yes. The moon is the primary factor in the tides. High tides are highest and low tides are lowest during a full moon and a new moon. Hurricane Sandy made landfall in the U.S. at high tide during a full moon. As a result, the already large storm surge cam in on top of an already high water level from the tide.
How does the full moon and the new moon phases affect the east cost during a Nor'easter storm?
During the full moon and new moon the sprig tides occur, meaning the high tides are at their highest and the low tides are at their lowest. Large, intense storm systems such as nor'easters produce a storm surge as their winds push ocean water onto land, causing coastal flooding. If the storm surge comes in during high-tide the effect is called a storm tide as the two combine their heights and cause more flooding than if the storm surge could on its own. This is enhanced even more if it happens during the spring tides. By contrast, if the storm surge comes in at low tide, the flooding will be reduced.
Why do lifeguards make you get out of the water when a storm is approaching?
Thunder storms can produce lightening which can strike you in the water (or next to you) and electrocute you shocking and killing you. In addition, in the ocean, the waves can be pushed by storm winds and cause rip tides and high surf causing drowning possibilities.
