  1. Weather Patterns Storms

  2. Storms • Thunderstorms • How Thunderstorms Form • Storm • Thunderstorm • Thunderstorms form a large cumulonimbus clouds, also known as thunderheads • Lightning and Thunder • Lightning • What causes Thunder? • Thunderstorm Damage

  3. Storms • Thunderstorms • Floods • Thunderstorm Safety • During thunderstorms, avoid places where lightning may strike. Also avoid objects that can conduct electricity, such as metal objects and bodies of water • How can you remain safe if you are caught outside during a thunderstorm? • How can lightning be dangerous?

  4. Storms • Tornadoes (is a rapidly-whirling, funnel-shaped cloud that reaches down from a storm cloud to touch Earth’s surface) • How Tornadoes Form • Tornadoes most commonly develop in thick cumulonimbus clouds – the same clouds that bring thunderstorms • Tornado Alley

  5. Storms • Tornadoes • Tornado Damage • Tornado Safety • The safest place to be during a tornado is in a storm shelter or the basement of a well-built building • What is a tornado warning?

  6. Storms • Hurricanes (is a tropical cyclone that has winds of 75 mph) • A typical hurricane is about 600 kilometers across • Hurricanes form in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans • In the western Pacific Ocean, hurricanes are called typhoons

  7. Storms • Hurricanes • How Hurricanes Form • A hurricane begins over warm ocean water as a low-pressure area, or tropical disturbance • How Hurricanes Move

  8. Storms • Hurricanes • Hurricane Damage • Storm surge • Hurricane Safety • Evacuate • If you hear a hurricane warning and are told to evacuate, leave the area immediately • What is a storm surge?

  9. Storms • Winter Storms • All year round, most precipitation begins in clouds as snow. If the air is colder than 0 degree C all the way to the ground, the precipitation falls as snow • Lake-Effect Snow

  10. Storms • Winter Storms • Snowstorm Safety • If you are caught in a snowstorm, try to find shelter from the wind • How can snowstorms be dangerous?
