3.3. Examples
4. Cyclones
4.1. Causes
4.1.1. The energy for cyclones comes from warm oceans.
4.1.2. Another way cyclones can form is that they need thunder storm and a
4.1.2.1. Weakening may also occur if the cyclone moves into an unfavourable wind regime which disrupts the structure of the system. Sometimes a decaying tropical cyclone may interact with a weather system in higher latitudes to cause impacts far from the tropics.
4.1.3. The surface temperature of the sea needs to be 26.5 degrees to start a cyclone
4.2. Effects
4.2.1. Slight damage to trees and crops on farms
4.2.2. Cyclones are categorised by their strength, 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest.
4.2.3. Minor house damage
4.2.4. Severe damage to signs
4.2.5. Some houses flatened
4.2.6. Power failure
4.2.7. Roofs on houses

4.5. Human Impacts
4.5.1. You will have no money and no where to live.
4.5.2. Farms will be destroyed by the cyclone and you will have no food.
4.5.3. We can drown from cyclones because they make huge floods
4.5.4. Animals can die leaves us with less food and farmers crops get sucked up
5. Droughts
5.1. Causes
5.1.1. Rainfall is low and irregular.
5.1.2. Australia is often affected by drought because of the change in rainfall pattern.
5.1.3. For most of countries our rainfall is very low and irregular.
5.1.3.1. So many scientist believe that this drought was caused by El Nino
5.1.3.1.1. .
5.2. Effects
5.2.1. There is less water for growing crops because of the drought
5.2.1.1. The Great Plains was heavily ploughed and planted by the Dust Bowl
5.2.1.1.1. Fresh water is our most precious resource if it would been dried up we would have died from thirst.
5.3. Example
5.3.1. A drought is when there is not enough water to serve humans, animals and plants.
5.4. Definition
5.4.1. A drought is when there is not enough water.
5.4.1.1. El Nino is a weather condition that can wreck havoc.
5.5. Human Impact
5.5.1. There is less water.
5.5.2. Less food to feed people.
5.5.3. When there is a drought, there is less water available for growing crops, farming animals, industry and our cities.
