What does the Fourth Report of the IPCC say about hurricanes?

The Fourth Report of the IPCC (The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), Climate Change 2007, said:There has been an increase in hurricane intensity in the North Atlantic since the 1970s, and that increase correlates with increases in sea surface temperature.The observed increase in hurricane intensity is larger than climate models predict for the sea surface temperature changes we have experienced.There is no clear trend in the number of hurricanes.Other regions appear to have experienced increased hurricane intensity as well, but there are concerns about the quality of data in these other regions.It is more likely than not (>50%) that there has been some human contribution to the increases in hurricane intensity.It is likely (>66%) that we will see increases in hurricane intensity during the 21st century.


Where did the Galveston hurricane occur?

"Hurricane Galveston" was not the name of a hurricane. There was the Galveston hurricane of 1900, which occurred before there was a naming system for hurricanes. As a result the hurricane was named for where it hit: Galveston, Texas.


How did the Hurricane Patricia formed?

Hurricane Patricia formed in October 2015 over the Eastern Pacific Ocean as a result of a combination of warm sea surface temperatures, favorable atmospheric conditions, and a conducive environment for tropical cyclone development. A cluster of thunderstorms organized and intensified, leading to the formation of a tropical depression, which rapidly strengthened into a tropical storm and then a hurricane. The storm reached peak intensity as a Category 5 hurricane, fueled by the warm waters and low vertical wind shear in the region.


How many injuries did hurricane Andrew have?

Hurricane Andrew caused 65 direct fatalities in the United States. In terms of injuries, it is estimated that about 25,000 people were injured as a result of the hurricane.

What happens to the intensity of a wave if the amplitude decreases?

Intensity of a wave is proportional to the frequency squared and amplitude squared based on this formula; I=1/2pw^2A^2V where p is the density of the medium, w is the angular frequency and A is the amplitude and V is the wave velocity. So, everything else remaining constant, decreasing the amplitude will decrease a waves intensity. Example decreasing the the amplitude by a factor of 4 will decrease the wave intensity by a factor of 8.


What happens to the light intensity as the magnification is increased?

As magnification increases, the light intensity typically decreases because the same amount of light is spread over a larger area. This reduction in light intensity can sometimes result in a dimmer image with more magnification.


What happens to a light if the amplitude of the wave decreases?

If the amplitude of a light wave decreases, the intensity of the light will also decrease. This means that there will be fewer photons or less energy carried by the light wave. As a result, the brightness of the light will be reduced.


Why does the intensity of light decrease as the distance from the source increases?

The intensity of light decreases with distance due to the spreading out of light waves over a larger area. This phenomena is a result of the inverse square law, which states that the intensity of light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. As light spreads out, it becomes less concentrated, resulting in a decrease in intensity.


What value of light intensity produced photosynthetic saturation in tomato leaves?

The light intensity that typically produces photosynthetic saturation in tomato leaves is around 1000 µmol photons m-2 s-1. This means that at this level of light intensity, the rate of photosynthesis reaches a maximum and further increases in light intensity do not result in higher photosynthetic rates.


How can sea temperature change a hurricane?

As I understand it, hurricanes develop, and enlarge as a result of absorbing ENERGY in the form of HEAT from the water over which they travel.Therefore, the greater the heat, the greater the chances of a hurricane growing larger and more violent. And the converse of that is also true: As the temperature of the mass [water or land] over which the hurricane travels decreases, the greater the tendency for it to weaken and dissipate.

What happens when a flashlight moves father away from an object?

As the flashlight moves farther away from an object, the intensity of the light reaching the object decreases. This will result in the object appearing dimmer or less illuminated as the distance between the object and the flashlight increases. The inverse square law describes how the intensity of light diminishes with distance.

When two numbers multiply the result increases but when multiply half and half the result is quarter that is decreases how with brief explanation?

...but if you multiply a whole number by a half the result decreases. Half of anything is less than that thing!
