Hurricanes

1. Did you know that before 1950，hurricanes had no names？They were simplygiven numbers. The first names were simply Alpha，Bravo，Charlie，etc. But in 1953，female names were given because of the unpredictability（不可预知的）factor of the storms. In 1979，realizing thesexist（性别歧视的）nature of such names，the lists were expanded to include both men and women.

2. Hurricanes and typhoons（台风）are the same things. If they form in the Atlantic，we call these strong storms hurricanes，fromthe West Indian word hurricane，meaning “big wind.” And if they are Pacific storms，they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun，meaning “great wind.” To be classified as a hurricane，the stormmust have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big，many hundreds of miles in diameter.

3. Hurricanes get their power from water vaporas it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapor gives out heat as itcondenses（凝结）from a gaseous state to a liquid stateover fixed points on the equator（赤道）.To make ahurricane，you must have extremely wet，warm air，the kind of air that can only befound in tropical regions.

4. Scientists have determined that the heatgiven out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billionkilowatts per hour. In just one day alone，the storm canproduce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year！ The problem is that we don't know how to make such great energywork for us.

5. Predicting the path of a hurricane is one ofthe most difficult tasks for forecasters. It moves at a typical speed of 15mph. But not always. Some storms may race along at twice this speed，then suddenly stop and remain in the same location in the ocean forseveral days. It can be maddening（发疯的）if you live in acoastal area that may be hit.

6. The biggest advance in early detection iscontinuous watch from weather satellites. With these，wecan see the storms form and track them fully，from birthto death. While they can still kill people and destroy property，hurricanes will never surprise any nation again.
