10 C Notes
Heat transfer - 3 types
*Radiation-Transfer of heat from electromagnetic energy, example: infrared radiation to thermal energy
*Convection-Transfer of heat by warm matter rising and cool matter sinking
*Conduction- transfer of heat by direct touch.
Warm Water Current
-more evaporation takes place
-raises humidity (moisture in air)
-raises overall temperature of the land
-cloud cover causes little change in temperature
from day to night.
Cold Water Current
-takes away the heat from the land
-lowers overall temperatures
-colder and drier conditions
-lower moisture
-wide ranges of temperatures during day and night
Hurricane Katrina
-One of the strongest storms to impact the
coast of the United States during the last 100
years.
-Sustained winds during landfall of 125 mph
(strong category 3)
-Eye Lowest pressure on record (920 MB)
-Widespread devastation to US. Cities such as New Orleans, LA, Mobile, AL, and Gulfport, MS

Hurricanes, also known as strong tropical cyclones, are a result of low pressure forming over very warm tropical or subtropical waters. They have an organized cluster of storms, and strong surface winds, blowing in a circular motions around the area of low pressure.
