Because a hurricane can be hundreds of kilometers across, people in the area begin to feel the effects hours before it reaches land. The winds arrive first, bringing lots of rain. Strong winds blow roofs off buildings and knock down trees and power lines. The storm surge - a rise in sea level caused by hurricanes - is responsible for most hurricane related deaths. The storm surge can cause sudden flooding and can even harm habitats where fish breed. Taken from: http://www.globio.org/glossopedia/ article.aspx?art_id=40&art_nm-Hurricanes 8.

The Channel Tunnel In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one mile tunnel across the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea-level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. Recently, there has again been great interest in the idea of a Channel Tunnel. If it is built, it will connect Britain to Europe for the first time in history. Taken from: Developing Skills 10. What would be built in the centre of the channel? A. A tunnel. B. A platform. C. A port. D. A railway station. E. A ventilation system.
