Storm

The atmosphere is mainly composed of a mixture of two gases: oxygen and nitrogen. This is the air we breathe. The wind blows ... Usual of the usual natural phenomenon. Familiar and understandable to everyone. Sometimes nice, sometimes - not. But it also happens: the usual phenomenon suddenly appears before us in a rare and wonderful clothes. Striking. Alarming. Intimidates its towering force. Wind blows and the sand dunes sings enigmatic songs. The poisonous breath of a sandstorm poisons all life. The wind blows over land and fabulous genie released from a bottle, has enormous vortex - a tornado. Severe destruction of the picture leaves a tropical storm. The wind is blowing and the sky give us colorful rain. Bring out the air haul marine fish ... Air Ocean as restless as the other oceans of the world. Solar radiation, Earth's rotation and many other factors influence it so that the air masses move all the time. Nothing living could not exist on Earth without air and wind. Breathing air, living organisms saturate his blood with oxygen, and vice versa, they exhale carbon dioxide. Winds, these kind of "mixing plant" of the Earth, provide an exchange between urban air pollution and clean, oxygenated air fields and forests, the warm equatorial air and cold polar regions, disperse the clouds and bring rain clouds to the fields in which no moisture is nothing to did not grow. Thus, the wind - an essential component of life. But he can be a destroyer, destructive of many other natural phenomena. British Admiral Francis Beaufort still 'in 1806, classified by wind dvenadtsatiballnoy scale. Its so called - the Beaufort scale. He shared the winds, depending on the speed of moving air masses. Already in force nine points rate ranges from twenty to twenty-four meters per second, and the wind brings down dilapidated buildings, tear roofs from houses. Storm - it is. Storm at sea. Force of the wind when the storm reaches eight - eleven points. Storms are very dangerous on the sea coasts and in the mouths of large rivers. Storm chases big waves that fill the beach and destroy all that spare the wind. Sea storm much worse than the land. Imagine the howling wind, only ten or twelve times stronger than in the field. This is a sea storm - the storm: the wind, which are small boats, ships, junks, and everything that comes across the sea, and sometimes the sea itself, throws on the shore, and the roofs and walls of houses, trees, people and everything that comes to shore, throws into the sea. Raised by a strong wind huge waves rolling over the sea with a roar and rumble interfering with each other. Water boiling in a huge cauldron. Howling and whistling wind, thunder rumbles. Thunder merge with a crash of colliding waves. All that merges into the unbearable, devilish noise. Each sailor caught in a storm, said that the noise with nothing to compare it is impossible. The most ferocious - tropical storms. They are born and are gaining strength in the hot sun on the vast ocean on both sides of the equator. Do tropical storms is a "favorite" months. In Jamaica, still singing the song: "June - it's too early in July - looking zorche, and in August - on guard of whether, in September - do not forget, and October - have all passed away." During the Spanish colonization of Puerto Rico's prayer "On aversion storm," read the August and September. On the island of Cuba - in September and October. Church officials knew where and in what months of the Caribbean, hurricanes are the most dangerous. In September 1780 there swept a tropical cyclone. He left a long memory. Then lost a lot of sailing ships, caught in the open ocean. With no less brutal cost to those who were near the shore. Here, in one terrible day sunk more than four hundred ships! The wind furiously attacked the Lesser Antilles - Barbados, Martinique, Saint Lucia. Huge ocean waves surged ashore, several cities have been razed to the ground. The number of dead has reached nearly forty thousand! Such tragedies are played out from time to time along the coasts of India and Pakistan. So, in 1870, a storm sank all the ships that were in the Bay of Bengal ships anchored in the port Chittagon were dumped on the shore. Ocean waves have reached many coastal villages and flooded them, sometimes the water level reached five to six meters. People trapped by surprise disaster, found salvation only in tall trees. Thousands of homes were destroyed, more than two hundred fifty thousand people were killed ...
