What else can I help you with?
Does a middle latitude cyclone have a steeper pressure gradient than a tornado?
No. A tornado produces the steepest pressure gradient of any weather phenomenon. An intense mid-latitude cyclone might have an overall pressure deficit comparable to a weak tornado, but that pressure gradient is spread out over several hundred miles. A tornado produces at least that much of a pressure drop over only a few hundred feet.
What happens to a cyclone as it moves over land?
As a cyclone moves over land, it loses its main energy source of warm ocean water, causing it to weaken. The friction from the land also disrupts the structure of the cyclone, causing it to break apart and dissipate more quickly than if it were over water.
What is the transfer of energy that causes an object to move in the direction of the force called?
The transfer of energy that causes an object to move in the direction of the force is called work. Work is defined as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance over which the force is applied in the direction of the force.
When rocks break where do they move?
Eventually they will move in a downward direction toward a place of deposition, due to gravity. Over long spans of time, however, they could be moved in any direction from tectonic forces.
What is a trick to help you remember in which direction latitude and longitude lines lie?
Latitude, with an A, goes across the map.Longitude, with an O, goes over the Poles.

What is the average size of a mid-latitude cyclone?
The average size of a mid-latitude cyclone can vary but typically ranges from a few hundred to over a thousand kilometers in diameter. These cyclones are characterized by their large-scale circulation and typically affect regions in the mid-latitudes, such as the United States and Europe.
How is tropical cyclone different from hurricane?
A cyclone occurs over water. A hurricane occurs over land.
Could a Mediterranean cyclone move south to the Red Sea?
Tropical like systems are rare over the Mediterranean and are not likely to cross to the Red Sea

Can sand dunes move over time?
in the same direction as that the wind blows
In what direction do dunes move?
In the direction of the prevailing wind. In geology, unidirectional cross-bedding can be preserved in sandstones, showing the procession of dunes over time.
Where does a cyclone start - over the land or over the sea?
In the US, a cyclone can only start over land - over the water it is referred to as a water spout.
What is a violent cyclone of small diameter over land?
This most closely describes a tornado, though a tornado technically is not a cyclone.
