There are 5 forces of nature that is very terrible and often cause enormous losses.
No less developed countries to do research with the involvement of people - people from all fields of science, in order to detect the natural occurrence. 5 forces of nature: the Tornado, Typhoon, Earthquake, Tsunami and Volcano eruption.
Tornado
Tornado winds swirl is a strong wind from a collection of medium strong current dark clouds that stretched into the earth's surface. When he appeared Tornado winds, often accompanied by one or more funnel-shaped cloud pillars such as "elephant trunk" of the cloud base and stuck to the bottom, along with wind and rain storms, lightning or rambun (ice cubes). If the Tornado through the surface of the water, he can draw water up, and form the pillars of water, adjacent to the clouds. If passed the mainland, will often break down the house, uprooted electric poles, even interesting people, animals or other objects into the vortex and taken elsewhere.
Tornado winds often occur in times of rain accompanied by lightning in the summer, and most came in the afternoon until late night, small-scale terjangannya, Tornado diameter typically ranges from tens to hundreds of meters. Tornado duration time is usually only a few minutes, the longest not more than a few hours. Brunt of the wind is very strong, the wind speed around the center can reach 100-200 meters / hour. Perusaknya very strong power, where the tornado passed by wind, often will make the trees in its path ripped from its roots, back flip over cars, destroy buildings and so forth, sometimes interesting to go man.
In general, wind is a Cyclone Tornado (turbulence). When he made contact with the surface of the earth, its diameter varies from a few meters to 1 km, but the average ranges from hundreds of meters. Coverage of the resulting impact, from several meters to tens of kilometers or even hundreds of miles, where its path will sweep all kinds of things. In the oceans, especially in the tropics, if it appears a similar view of the sea called the Tornado.
Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere opposite swirling clockwise, the opposite in the southern hemisphere clockwise swirling. The exact mechanism of the Tornado is still in the research, generally considers the activities associated with the atmosphere.
Since the 19 th century, the forecast accuracy increases dramatically, can predict the weather radar wind Tornado, Thypoon (Typhoon) and various other destructive storms.
Although wind is a wind tornado with wind speeds highest and most powerful destroyers, but because perusaknya limited range, then the only classified in the final sequence.
Thypoon (Typhoon)
Cyclone systems (swirling wind) the tropics rather strongly that occurred in southern sea waters and the western Pacific Ocean, called Thypoon. In earlier 1989, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) set, that according to the average size of wind power in the strongest winds swirling around the center of the tropics, tropical turbulence divided by 4 categories of tropical low pressure, tropical storm winds, a strong tropical storm winds and hurricane. Tropical turbulence with wind power under 8 level is called a tropical low pressure, called the 8-9 level tropical wind storms, called the level of 10-11 tropical storms strong winds, above 12 or 12 level is called Typhoon. Tropical turbulence with wind power or 12 levels above the 12 level at about the center of Australia, the eastern Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean called Thypoon.
Judging from the average scene for years, Thypoon in the northern hemisphere occurs largely in the July-October, especially early in August, September Thypoon most common. But that is not the same year can differ considerably.
Although power is not as good as destroyer Thypoon Tornado, but because the impact area, then it is classified in the order to 4.
Earthquakes
The earthquake, which is fast vibration lithosphere. Based on the causes of earthquakes can be divided into two types: tectonic earthquakes and volcanic earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes most extensive impact on humans. Occurrence of this earthquake because the voltage of the earth, causing structural changes in the earth. Layers of rock in the crust, which under the effect of earth stress in the long run, will be the slope and curve, while the accumulated earth voltage exceeds the maximum limit that can hold the rock, there will be mistakes and cracks where suddenly in the rock layers weak, so that the energy accumulated in the long term suddenly released, and spread to the 4 corners in the form of earthquake waves, resulting in vibrations in the earth's surface.
Two patterns of distribution of earthquake waves: wave longitude (longitudinal) and the wave of latitude (tranversal). Longitudinal wave velocity spread very fast, very strong spreading power, so when an earthquake happens. First it first reaches the earth's surface, as such, the people who are in the epicenter would feel shocked. The next wave of latitude arrive, then the earth began to shake, if severe, will result in collapsed houses, ground breaking, changing the form of highways (cracked).
The size of an earthquake is generally used to determine the level of scale earthquake. The bigger the earthquake energy released, the higher the scale, too. Each increased by one level, then the energy will increase approximately 30-fold.
Earthquakes are a common natural phenomenon. On average each day over the earth there is an earthquake, and occurred on average 5 million times each year, of whom felt the earthquake that approximately 50,000 times, was hard on the earthquake at magnitude 7 on average less than 20 times .
Desktruktif earthquake strong in a short time to tear down houses, destroying bridges, dams and buildings, which directly caused a great disaster in humans. Even can lead to floods, fires, tsunami, and toxic substances and other secondary disaster. Because it is classified in the order of the 3.
Tsunami
Tsunami is a sea wave that has a strong destructive power. Earth activities such as undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or landslides and so on will also likely result in the Tsunami.
When an earthquake happens, stratum (layer) having split the sea floor, some stratum rise or sink suddenly, and has resulted in all layers of the seabed to the surface of experience "shocks" hard. "Shock" is not the same as the ordinary wave we encounter. Ocean waves are generally only ride around the surface, the depth is not great. Was "shock" caused by sea water all the earthquakes are fluctuations of the water system to the surface of the sea surface, the energy contained in it is very surprising.
Waves towered mighty as the Tsunami, their height can reach more than tens of meters, forming a "wall of water". In addition, the long waves is very large tsunami, can spread thousands of km to the erosion of the very small energy. Since for the above, if the tsunami reaches the coast, the "wall of water" will be charged to the mainland, and poses a serious threat to lives and property men.
Because of high impact virulence, so the tsunami in order to classify in-2.
Volcanic eruptions
Volcanoes belching mountain is not "fire", which is a substance disemburkannya thick high-temperature, and this substance is called magma (lava). When volcanoes erupt, the landscape will look very amazing. Because of the high temperature, and strong pressure from the earth's crust, therefore, if met with a rather thin region and bercelah, it will slide into laharnya pouring surface.
Occurrence of the volcano is below the earth's surface, the deeper areas, the temperature will be higher, at a depth of about 20 miles, enough to melt the high temperature most of the rocks. When rocks melt will expand and need more space. Dilumerkan material by high temperature will rise through the cracks. When the pressure is greater than lava rocks on the surface pressure, would explode and form a volcano.
When volcanoes erupt, would be accompanied by the roar that shook the earth, flying rocks, and lava is not the main heat gushing from under the ground, swallowing all the things around him, and the instant the eyes, tens of miles around the neighborhood covered in sehamparan fog. Even sometimes, because of volcanic eruptions, can create instant flat land in form of a huge mountain that towered, like the formation of Mount Kilimanjaro near the equator and into the mountains to the xi tuo pa. Sometimes, it could be in instant swallowed whole villages and city districts, such as Longbei city.
Volcanic eruptions are hard not only to destroy the city districts, and even can change most or even global climate. Therefore, the volcano is classified in the first order and indeed deserve the title of extreme destruction.
