A hurricane is a huge storm with powerful winds and lots of rain. They can be up to 600 miles across, and make a spiraling shape.

Hurricanes are formed over water in tropical areas, and use warm water as energy. They can move...

Children on a playground use creativity and their imaginations to simulate the many different types of storms found on Earth. From thunderstorms to wind storms, to snow storms and rain storms, to hurricanes and tornadoes, the children...

This video provides an overview of different types of storms, including snowstorms, thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes. It explains the characteristics and formation of each type of storm, highlighting their destructive potential...

NASA scientists are investigating key questions about hurricanes in a new mission from the skies. This August, the East Pacific Origins and Characteristics of Hurricanes, or EPOCH, mission will fly over East Pacific...

Hurricane Harvey rapidly strengthened in the Gulf of Mexico in 2017, before making landfall in Texas, as one the strongest hurricanes there in over 50 years. The high wind quickly faded after landfall, but the rain continued as the storm...

How to know where flood waters will flow? Texas A&M researchers, with funding from the National Science Foundation, have developed an algorithm that can predict the flow of floodwater during hurricanes and other weather events in almost...

This video explains the concept of global climate change and its potential effects on the Earth. It discusses the scientific consensus that the Earth's temperature is rising due to the emission of greenhouse gases, the resulting melting...

Is the frequency of extreme weather events a sign that global warming is gaining pace and exceeding predictions?



"Now, direct evidence of the footprint or the fingerprint of global warming: we're seeing more frequent,...

Today we wrap up the first half of our series on physical geography by taking a closer look at natural hazards - which are physical processes like heat waves and cyclones, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and floods and droughts. And...

A look back at the snowstorms, tropical storms, typhoons, hurricanes and floods captured and analyzed by the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission from around the globe during 2015....

In 2005, New Orleans was struck by Hurricane Katrina. What defences did the city have to protect it? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. New Orleans, Louisiana USA, straddles the Mississippi river and lies below sea level. New...

Science Kids Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Bomb Cyclones, Atmospheric Rivers, Floods and Extreme Weather

This video examines the various causes and impacts of floods, highlighting how they are often the most catastrophic result of extreme...

Science Kids Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Bomb Cyclones, Atmospheric Rivers, Floods and Extreme Weather

This video explains the differences between hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones, detailing how they form and the impact of the Coriolis...

In 2005, New Orleans was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The city had flood defences which were meant to protect it. Why did these fail and could this happen again? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Hurricane Katrina hit New...

Hurricane Helene in 2024 was a storm with tremendous impact on the southeastern United States, not just to the environment but to people, to communities, and to life, far inland after landfall. Over 200 people were killed, not so much...

For their size and impact, hurricanes are often called the greatest storms on Earth. They expend a tremendous amount of energy through the water cycle, and through wind, to maintain the balance of the atmosphere. Known by different names...

In 2017, we have seen four Atlantic storms rapidly intensify with three of those storms - Hurricane Harvey, Irma and Maria - making landfall. When hurricanes intensify a large amount in a short period, scientists call this...

Hurricane Katrina describes how geography affects climate and weather by examining Hurricane Katrina as an example.
