Imani M. Bell Mrs. Bowers Integrated Science Causes of Dangerous Weather Sever weather can vary from, thunderstorms, lightning, hail, and tornadoes It is caused by ancient Greek Gods, called Hecatoncheires. - There were three gods - There were strong powerful gods that were able to conduct severe weather. - They were made of 100 hands and 50 heads, having many responses at once - There many hands were used for the wielding of many violent storms These gods were used by other gods for the most powerful creations of violent storms. Some of violent storms they contribute to was, - lightning - thunderstorms - hurricanes - tornadoes They were summoned by Zeus, to rein their power other gods (Titans) who cam to fight Zeus. They won the battle and after was sent back down to the dungeon of Tartaros, where they spent over one million years, to guard the titans. Current Scientific Discoveries of Severe Weather Science has proven that heat transfer, weather fronts, and the placement in the atmosphere are the causes to the weather. Weather is affected by three factors, - atmospheric pressure - water - temperature The weather of earth is caused to the mixture of different climates. - warm front: when warm air overtakes the cold air, which is due increasing temperatures and - cold front: air pushes in which causes the warm air to push up. This is caused by precipitation and decrease in temperatures (cold air is stronger than warm air). Most responsible for the heating and cooling of earth’s atmosphere is the radiation of the sun and the earth. Severe Weather in Their Making Severe weather occurs when light warm air rises quickly higher and higher into the atmosphere and in which colder levels are in an unstable updraft that can reach over 100 miles per hour. • Lightning, which happens through thunderstorms, are when bolts of electricity are heating up the small particles in the air. Tornadoes Thunderstorms: when humid air near the ground pushes upward mixing with surface winds, in which it rise to unstable atmosphere. are caused when columns of air suspend from large clouds and eventually contacting the ground in a funnel shape. They are the worst types of weather because of all of the damage they construct and their abundance of power.
