The rain from a hurricane can cause sever flooding.


What the difference between a hurricane and rain?

A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph. rain is water on that falls from the sky after evaporating and re-condensing. Hurricanes do bring rain, but also bring very strong winds, and create coastal flooding from a combination of wind and low pressure driving seawater onto land. Hurricanes also are, by definition, tropical systems with well-organized circulation and convection.


What is the difference of a twister and a hurricane?

A twister is another term for a tornado, which is a violent rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. A hurricane is a large rotating storm with high winds and heavy rain that forms over warm waters in the ocean. The main difference is that tornadoes are smaller in size and form over land, while hurricanes are much larger and form over water.


What weather occurs with a hurricane?

A hurricane is a type of very powerful storm that forms over warm ocean water. Specifically a hurricane is a tropical cyclone. Hurricanes bring powerful winds that, in many cases, can be matched only by a tornado. But that is not the main danger. The winds of a hurricane push ocean water onto land in what is called the storm surge, causing extensive coastal flooding. They also produce torrential rain the goes on for hours, which can result in inland flooding.


Does a hurricane or a cyclone produce more rain?

Does a hurricane rain ocean water or regular water?

A hurricane typically produces heavy rain using regular water from the atmosphere, not ocean water. The intense winds of a hurricane can pick up moisture from the ocean surface and carry it over land, where it falls as precipitation.


What is a difference between a hurricane and a blizzard?

A hurricane has a name since 1950, forms in water, appears in Summers, and precipitation is mainly in the form of rain. A blizzard doesn't have a name, forms in land (out of water), appears in Winters, and precipitation is mainly in the form of snow. Both of them have wind.


What makes a hurricane different from rain?

rain only has water hurricanes have heavy winds and some times hail


Why does it rain during a hurricane?

During a hurricane, it rains heavily due to the intense convection of warm, moist air rising rapidly and condensing into clouds. This process generates strong thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, which can lead to flooding and other hazards.


How would you explain that a lower then average salinity is found in coastal waters?

Wouldn't heavy rain, say from a hurricane cause a higher than usual runoff of fresh water from the land area? And the rain that drops in the sea is fresh too.

How much rain does a typical hurricane bring?

A typical hurricane can bring anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of rain, with some areas experiencing significantly more rainfall. This heavy rainfall can result in flooding, landslides, and other forms of water-related damage.


What are the main sources of fresh water on land?

The main sources of fresh water on land are snow and rain which fall as precipitation.


What is an example of a land feauture created by water deposition?

The deposition of water (its precipitation) is called rain. Rain falls and collects in rivers, rivers carve out valleys in the land. Therefore a river valley is a land feature created by water.
