Question

The following text is for questions 5 to 7.

A hurricane is a big tropical storm in the Atlantic Ocean. There are tropical storms in the Pacific and Indian Ocean, too, but here they’re called typhoons or cyclones. Hurricanes start over the ocean, and they happen in late summer when the water is warm.

When a hurricane is photographed by a satellite, it looks like a giant doughnut. The centre of hurricane is called ‘the eye’. There is no wind here. The strong winds are pulled round the eye by rotation of the earth.

A hurricane is formed over the ocean, but then it’s blown towards the islands of the Caribbean and the coasts of Central and North America. The winds can reach over 220 km/h, so hurricanes can be very dangerous. Buildings are damaged. Trees, bridges and power lines are blown down. Every year hundreds of people are killed by hurricanes.

Most of damage is done on islands and along the coast. A lot of damage is caused by the sea because huge waves are created by the strong winds. The waves are blown onto the land, and cities, villages and fields are flooded. However, hurricanes and typhoons also do some good things. Over half the rain in Japan is brought by typhoons.

Hurricanes are caused by heat. Scientists believe that if global warming increases, we will see many more hurricane each year.
