difference between the two?)C. Definition : Define hurricane/cyclone.D. Formation: How does a hurricane form? What conditions are necessary? E. When a Hazard becomes a Disaster: At what point is the hurricane considered to be a

natural disaster (not just a hazard)? What effects does the disaster have on the environment, humans, animals, plants, landforms, etc?

Describe the ways it causes changes to the Earth’s surface. Why is it so destructive?What damage does it cause to human communities?How could damage have been reduced (Is there anything humans can do before or during the event to minimize damage? Describe.)

F. Warning Systems: How are people warned of the hazard and/or disaster? If there is no warning system in place, explain why. (Warnings are given before the event takes place.)

G. Locations: Where do hurricanes/cyclones/typhoons happen most frequently and why do they occur there? (Include a map and detailed information)

H. Examples of Natural Disasters: Choose, list and briefly describe 3 recent events whereby the hazard was considered to be a disaster.

Add details such as dates, what happened, and how it affected the Earth and living things.
