...Did you know that tornadoes and twisters are the most powerful storm, well they are. In source one in paragraph one “Tornadoes move air from one part of the atmosphere to another by forming a vortex, a large, spinning mass of air that pulls things into its center. The vortex forms a funnel-shaped cloud that extends from the sky to the ground.” The causes of tornadoes and twisters are when cold air and warm air meet. In source one paragraph 2.” When the warm air may get trapped under the cold air. The warm air has a low pressure and tries to rise as the cold air sinks. The interaction between the warm and cold air causes the air to spin, resulting in a tornado.” Another cause of these storms are when “spinning mass of air that pulls things...

Such as Waco Tornado, both articles from Time’s Magazines and National Weather Service have an article for that horrible disaster. In Time’s Magazine's article, “Waco Tornado, 1953: Photos From the Aftermath of a Deadly Texas Twister” it explains that, “ A monstrous F5 tornado tore through Waco, Texas, leaving 114 people dead, hundreds more injured and much of the city in ruins. On the afternoon of May 11, 1953 an F5 tornado made a direct hit on Waco. A matter of minutes. In the face of cyclonic winds that likely topped 300 miles per hour, hundreds of homes and businesses were utterly destroyed....

...something they thought they never would: the eye of a tornado. Seeing the lightning striking at random all the way up the funnel, the two gazed awestruck at a small, spiraling column going from the ground all the way to the sky and surrounding that was a vast ring of dust and debris. Above all of that was something amazing and almost heaven-like: through the very top of the tornado, they could see those fluffy, white, cotton ball clouds and clear, blue skies. Euphoria lasted only for a second, though. The twister finally passed over them and as the wind died down, they were safely lowered back to the ground. Shaken up, but miraculously unscathed, they unlatched themselves from the rusty pipes and took in the destroyed scene around them. With painful looks they observed that the powerful beast had simply plowed over everything in sight: it was a war zone. Breaking through the dark, threatening skies, the sun revealed a quiet, peaceful scene, like the one seen through the twister. At last, they were...

...the destruction almost immeasurable. A major natural disaster such as this could wipe out people’s way of life and a food supply that helps to feed the world. In many cases flooding accompanies tornadoes. These super cell storms can drop several inches of water in a very short time. Tornadoes can also destroy water towers leaving communities without drinkable water, knock over power lines leaving communities in the dark and tear open gas lines creating a very high risk of fires and explosions. Tornadoes have been somewhat sensationalized in media. There have been books written about tornado events such as The Night of the Twisters by Ivy Ruckman, the story of her cousin’s families bout with the June 3, 1980 Grand Island, Nebraska tornadoes, to movies such as the made for TV movie of the same name and The Wizard of Oz, not to mention the Blockbuster Twister. Although these movies are entertaining, they are far from accurate. “A storm chasers dream come true is to get close enough to a mile-wide tornado to shoot unique video of nature's extreme fury. Maybe even take some close-up measurements of the storm's surroundings, if the science warrants. But never will a chase team be caught racing into the middle of a corn field toward the heart of a whirling funnel no matter what the prize” (Cappella, 2002) The name tornado is derived from the Spanish verb tornar , which means “ to turn.” A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air, usually descending from a...

...The film is similar to the 1996 film Twister, a climate fiction- science fiction film where a small town is torn to shreds as a twister or tornado blows through it. The characters do not appear to develop any further than they are presented at the beginning. The film does provide some small insight into the struggles of a father to raise two teenage boys alone after the death of the mother; however the lack of conversation between father and son throughout the film does not develop this strained relationship any further. Allison is utilised mostly as a source of metrological terms trying to promote credibility and juxtapose the character of Pete who is callous, money and fame hungry character. Pete is the most entertaining character , compared to the cohort, Pete (Matt Walsh) is faced with some challenging moments and is the...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) have been in focus of attention for years. In 1982, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) come forth with a thorough study on the emissions and health effects of benzo (a) pyrene and other PAHs (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1982). According to the report, the carcinogenetic effect of benzo (a) pyrene was already proven and other PAHs were suspected to have similar effects. The US EPA categorized these PAHs and selected 16 compounds that were found and monitored to prove the claims. They are were named as the sixteen EPA-PAHs. The emission sources for these compounds that were presented in the study as having...

Classify each one as residential access, company access or mobile access Cable Modems -> Residential Access Digital subscriber Line -> Residential Access Hybrid fiber-coaxial cable -> Residential Access Ethernet Technologies -> Company Access Wireless LAN -> Wireless Access Bluetooth -> Wireless Access R5 Is HFC transmission rate dedicated or shared among users? Are collisions possible in a downstream HFC channel? Why or Why not? HFC transmission is in fact shared among users, it has protocols that are created to limit if not reduce the possibility of collisions. R8 What are some physical media that Ethernet can run over? Ethernet can use twister pair and coaxial. R9 Dial-up modems, HFC, and DSL are all used for residential access. For each of theses technologies provide a range of transmission rates and comment on whether the transmission rate is shared or dedicated. Dial-up is a dedicated transmission that servers 56.6kbps and under. HFC is a shared transmission and the rate really is dependent on the users on the line. On the other end DSL which is a dedicated transmission has a range of 768 kbps to 1.5 mbps downstream and 128kbps to 768 kbps upstream.

...TOGO developed the first Pipeline coaster and the first recorded Ultratwister coaster built was in 1985 at LaQua amusement park in Tokyo, Japan called Ultra Twister. The ride became somewhat popular in Japanese parks, and one year after the first was built, Six Flags purchased one of these coasters for their Six Flags Great Adventure theme park, where it resided until 1990 when it was moved to Six Flags Astroworld until the park closed in 2005. This coaster would remain the only pipeline coaster in America. The American Ultratwister still exists, however it awaits possible future assembly at Six Flags America. TOGO's model would be the only somewhat successful design. Six of these were made and were successful in small parks due to its small...

The tornado was estimated to be at least two miles wide at one point as it moved through Moore, Oklahoma, in the southern part of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, CNN affiliate KFOR reported. Meteorologists warned residents to go underground to survive a direct hit from the tornado. "It's just destroying everything. There's so many homes in the air right now.

...everyone think that it was not just for entertainment, but written as telling a story during the time he was living in. She gives several point where it proves that the story was just a children's story. But more points were given to where it shows that Oz might be more than just a children's book. There were too many coincidences of the story that matched the events that happened during the time the story was written. A lot of her weaknesses in this article was to back up what her conclusion was. Most if not all of the paragraphs involved in the article talked about how the story related to all of the things happening. Like Dorothy, she was the protagonist of the story but truly she symbolizes the American people. When the twister takes Dorothy,the twister is the populist cyclone that went across Kansas in the early 1890s. When dorothy is fallowing the rode to Emerald city, she meets 3 characters, a scarecrwo that has no brain and is representing the midwestern farmers, the Tin Woodman who represents the nations workers, mostly the industrial workers who wanted to make common cause with the pupulist, and lastly she met the lion who is Williams Jenning Bryan the Nebraska representative. ...
