We have been talking about hurricanes and tornadoes, and now it is very important that you are able to describe their differences and similarities. Also remember that a tropical depression and a tropical storm are the early stages of a hurricane, the difference is the wind speed. When wind speed reaches 119 kms/hr, it is a hurricane.
Here are some links to watch videos that show how they form and move, and how they look. Pay attention to the differences. A hurricane lasts for several days, it takes longer to cross the affected area. A tornado is faster, it can take only a few minutes, great speed and the consequence is lots of destruction.
Click on the link below and observe both events:
Did you hear about hurricane Isidoro? Here are two videos taken by Geoff Mckley, a National Geographic photographer who dared to get in Progreso at the moment the hurricane hit land, scary!
In your word document write the differences you observed between a hurricane and a tornado.
Then, write about Hurricane Isidoro, describe what you observed in the videos, could you identify any familiar places?
