Which two factors are most responsible for a flash flood?
discharge between rain clouds and Earth
location where atmospheric convection results in a dry air mass
how much rain is falling and how long the rain lasts
the temperature of the water below the hurricane
tornadoes form over land, while hurricanes form over bodies of water
Coriolis effect
the formation of a hurricane
thermal energy of ocean waves
How do the conditions for a tornado differ from the conditions for a hurricane?
discharge between rain clouds and Earth
location where atmospheric convection results in a dry air mass
how much rain is falling and how long the rain lasts
the temperature of the water below the hurricane
tornadoes form over land, while hurricanes form over bodies of water
