Natural Disasters - Typhoon

WALT : research about natural disasters.

In this last block we will be researching about natural disasters which is actually our new term inquiry topic and we have a number of questions to answer, the natural disaster I will be researching is a Typhoon because I personally think it's unique.

Have you ever wondered what a Typhoon is? Well let me tell you, a typhoon is actually a tropical storm that usually happens around the Indian and Pacific ocean, it is actually very similar to a hurricane and a tropical cyclone.

But is that the only place where Typhoons hit? Well Typhoons can actually happen a lot less in certain areas and countries in the world but they are also very common here is a list of some common places that get hit by Typhoons.

Most Typhoons hit around Indian ocean, western Pacific ocean, east of Asia so close to places like Japan. Typhoons are formed from warm air which usually comes from warm water but that is actually why you don't see or hear about many Typhoons because they rarely happen. The spinning rate for a Typhoon is up to 75 - 150 mph (mile per hour) but a strong/super Typhoon can go 150+ mph (miles per hour).

How do people get affected by Typhoons? Why?

A lot of people usually get hurt and affected by Typhoons because they are really strong so people do get injured and hurt some unfortunately do sadly lose their lives, people lose their homes making them homeless, cars and a lot of other things. This happens because the wind from a Typhoon is just to strong for peoples items and people in general. So this affects a lot of people when they happen but they are quite rare because you did need a lot of warm water and a lot of strong air to cause a Typhoon?

Is Typhoon the most dangerous natural disaster?

It is actually a very dangerous storm because its not a very light storm and things like that but it is also not the most dangerous and im very happy that I have not experienced one before but I hope for all those that have that they are ok and safe. The reason why Typhoons aren't the most dangerous natural disaster because there are much much worse ones but they also can be depending on the spread the wind is blowing.
