Hurricane Irene

Critical Thinking
What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
Hurricane get heat and energy through warm ocean. Evaporation from seawater increase its power.

Why would there be more damage to an area during high tide?
Those area might be close to ocean. When tides come it effect more that are than other.

If an area is fully saturated, how will this more dangerous for an area?
During the hurricane it will mostly broke the tree etc. It would be negative effect on the environment.    

Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated?
Then water would not go to under the ground it will stay on the ground. The water keep cycling.
