When a hurricane reaches land, its intensity decreases due to the loss of warm ocean water as its primary energy source, friction from interaction with land, and disruption of the storm's circulation by terrain features. These factors typically lead to a weakening of the storm's wind speeds and ultimately its dissipation.
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.
Earth's rotation speed is gradually decreasing, as a result of the tides.
"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.
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.

Decreasing the amplitude of the sound waves will decrease the intensity of the sound coming from the TV. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude, so reducing the amplitude will result in a corresponding decrease in intensity. This means that the sound will be quieter.
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.
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.

Increasing the amplitude of a sound wave will increase the volume of the sound perceived. This is because higher amplitudes result in greater intensity of the sound wave, leading to a louder sound. Conversely, decreasing the amplitude will lower the volume of the sound.
At least 41 people died as a result of Hurricane Isaac in 2012.
