“Rain, rain
go away! Come again another day. Little children want to play. Rain, rain go
away!”
The familiar
song we used to sing when we were just little kids.
There’s a
certain time in the year when we always experience rain. It’s during the time
when the phenomenon La Niña is
present. Storms are one of the major
systems that cause rains. Under storm are some storm systems. One of which is
the tropical cyclone.
Through thorough
research and continuous studying, I’ve learned that a tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low-pressure center surrounded by a spiral
arrangement of thunderstorms that produce strong winds and
heavy rain. Tropical cyclones strengthen when water evaporated from the ocean is
released as the saturated air
rises, resulting in condensation of water vapor
contained in the moist air. They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than
other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters,
European windstorms, and polar lows.
The characteristic that separates tropical cyclones from other cyclonic systems
is that at any height in the atmosphere, the center of a tropical cyclone will
be warmer than its surroundings; a phenomenon called "warm core"
storm systems.
Because of
some missing links, I want to know more about its movement and formation. I want
to research more on these things to make everything clearer.
I appreciate
the fact that we, young students, are able to make and post some blogs about
the environment which can help us be curious enough in knowing facts and which
can also help us be informed about the said things.
I can apply
my learning and insights about tropical cyclone in informing others, warning
them about its probable causes and effects. Being aware about these things may
help us foresee what may happen ahead of us.
