Is x kilometers per hour faster than x miles per hour?
No, x kilometers per hour and x miles per hour are equal speeds. The conversion factor between kilometers and miles is 1.60934, so when converting from kilometers to miles, the number decreases but the speed remains the same.
What is a violent tropical storm with winds in excess of 74 miles per hour?
A cyclone or hurricane
Wind speed above 74 miles per hour tropical depression tropical disturbance tropical storm?
A wind speed exceeding 74 miles per hour indicates a tropical storm. Prior to reaching this speed, a tropical system is categorized as a tropical depression or tropical disturbance based on its wind speeds and organization. Once wind speeds reach at least 39 miles per hour, it is classified as a tropical storm.
What happens to a tropical depression in a hurricane?
A tropical depression can develop into a hurricane if conditions are favorable, with wind speeds reaching 74 mph or more. As a tropical depression strengthens, it progresses through stages like tropical storm and eventually reaches hurricane strength.
How does typhoon differ from tropical storm or tropical depression?
First, it is a tropical depression with heavy clouds and thunderstorms. Next, it is a tropical storm when the wind gets to 39 miles per hour. Lastly, it becomes a (hurricane,typhoon,cyclone) when the wind hits 74 miles per hour.
When winds exceed 93 miles per hour what does a tropical depression become?
A speed of 93 miles per hour has no significance in tropical systems. At 74 miles per hour a tropical storm becomes a category 1 hurricane. At 96 miles per hour a hurricane is considered to be a category 2.
What are the stages that a tropical cyclone goes through?
A tropical disturbance can become a tropical depression, which can then lead to a tropical storm and on to a tropical cyclone, or hurricane. (The differentiation between a cyclone and hurricane depends on the strength and location -- it becomes a hurricane when it hits land and exceeds wind speeds of over 74 miles per hour)
At what wind speed do tropical storms become hurricanes?
There is not set lower limit. A tropical depression, the weakest level of tropical cyclone is defined by having a closed Circulation. However. A tropical depression usually has sustained winds of at least 30 mph.
What factor determines whether a storm is considered a tropical depression tropical storm or hurricane?
The determining factor is the sustained wind speed. If the tropical system has sustained winds of less than 39 miles per hour, then it is a tropical depression. If sustained winds are in the range of 39 to 73 mph, then it is a tropical storm. If sustained winds are 74 mph or faster, then it is a hurricane.
The fastest moving insect is the large tropical cockroach It scurries at speeds of up to 27.6 inches per second How fast is that in miles per hour?
1.5682 miles per hour.
A tropical storm is named when it has winds of at least?
A tropical storm is named when it reaches maximum sustained wind speeds of 39 miles per hour (63 kilometers per hour).
What is a tropical has winds between 40 and 73 miles per hour?
A tropical storm has winds between 39 and 73 miles per hour.
Arrange these steps in hurricane formation in order from first to last Category 1 to 5 storm Tropical depression Unorganized mass of thunderstorms Winds up to 74 miles per hour?
In order they are : tropical disturbance, tropical depression, tropical storm, sustained winds over 74 mph (hurricane/typhoon).
How did hurricane Isaac start?
Hurricanes form in tropical regions where there is warm water, typically at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 27 degrees Celsius, moist air and converging equatorial winds. Most Atlantic hurricanes begin off the west coast of Africa and start out as thunderstorms that move out over the warm and tropical ocean waters. A thunderstorm reaches hurricane status in three stages. A tropical depression has swirling clouds and rain with wind speeds of less than 38 miles per hour. A tropical storm has wind speeds of 39 to 73 miles per hour and a hurricane has wind speeds greater than 74 miles per hour. It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to several days for a thunderstorm to develop into a hurricane. Chances are Hurricane Isaac began the same way most every hurricane starts.
