Effects of tropical cyclones (original) (raw)
The effects of tropical cyclones include heavy rain, strong wind, large storm surges near landfall, and tornadoes. The destruction from a tropical cyclone, such as a hurricane or tropical storm, depends mainly on its intensity, its size, and its location. Tropical cyclones remove forest canopy as well as change the landscape near coastal areas, by moving and reshaping sand dunes and causing extensive erosion along the coast. Even well inland, heavy rainfall can lead to landslides in mountainous areas. Their effects can be sensed over time by studying the concentration of the Oxygen-18 isotope within caves.

| dbo:abstract | The effects of tropical cyclones include heavy rain, strong wind, large storm surges near landfall, and tornadoes. The destruction from a tropical cyclone, such as a hurricane or tropical storm, depends mainly on its intensity, its size, and its location. Tropical cyclones remove forest canopy as well as change the landscape near coastal areas, by moving and reshaping sand dunes and causing extensive erosion along the coast. Even well inland, heavy rainfall can lead to landslides in mountainous areas. Their effects can be sensed over time by studying the concentration of the Oxygen-18 isotope within caves. After the cyclone has passed, devastation often continues. Fallen trees can block roads and delay rescues, with medical supplies, or slow the repairs to electrical lines, telephone towers or water pipes, which could put other lives at risk for days or months. Stagnant water can cause the spread of disease, and transportation or communication infrastructure may have been destroyed, hampering clean-up and rescue efforts. Nearly 2 million people have died globally due to tropical cyclones. Despite their devastating effects, tropical cyclones are also beneficial, by potentially bringing rain to dry areas and moving heat from the tropics poleward. Out at sea, ships take advantage of their known characteristics by navigating through their weaker, western half. Hazards are often characterized as primary, secondary or tertiary. A primary hazard involves destructive winds, debris and storm surge. Secondary hazards include flooding and fires. Tertiary hazards include spikes in prices of food and other necessities, as well as long term hazards like water-borne diseases. (en) Os efeitos de ciclones tropicais são geralmente os impactos que ciclones tropicais provocam nas áreas por onde percorrem. Os principais impactos destrutuivos incluem chuva pesada, fortes ventos, grandes marés ciclônicas no momento do landfall e até mesmo tornados. O poder destrutivo de um ciclone tropical depende principalmente de sua intensidade e de seu tamanho. Os ciclones tropicais agem na cobertura florestal, assim como também mudam a paisagem, por mover e remoldar dunas de areias e causando erosão extensiva ao longo da costa. Mesmo quando está sobre terra, pesadas chuvas podem levar a enxurradas de lama e deslizamentos de terra em áreas montanhosas. Seus impactos podem ser sentidos durante um intervalo de tempo por medir a quantidade de Oxigênio 18 dentro de cavernas perto da costa. Após a passagem do ciclone, a devastação continua. A pode causar a disseminação de doenças e a infraestrutura de transportes e comunicações podem ser destruídas, atrasando a limpeza e os esforços de resgate. Perto de dois milhões de pessoas morreram por causa de ciclones tropicais nos últimos tempos. Apesar de seus efeitos de devastação, os ciclones tropicais também são benéficos, por potencialmente trazer chuvas a áreas secas e mover calor para latitudes mais altas. No mar, os navios pegam vantagens por navegar no lado ocidental (mais fraco) de um ciclone tropical. (pt) |
