How Hurricanes Impact Georgia
How Hurricanes Impact Georgia
This episode of Things Explained talks about how hurricanes form, how they impact the mainland U.S. and specifically Georgia, and ways we can help minimize storm damage.
Science
Ask questions to identify sources of heat energy.
Plan and carry out investigations to observe the flow of energy in water as it changes states from solid (ice) to liquid (water) to gas (water vapor) and changes from gas to liquid to solid.
Develop models to illustrate multiple pathways water may take during the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, and precipitation).
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to predict weather events and infer weather patterns using weather charts/maps and collected weather data.
Analyze and interpret weather data to explain the effects of moisture evaporating from the ocean on weather patterns and weather events such as hurricanes.
Plan and carry out an investigation to demonstrate how energy from the sun transfers heat to air, land and water at different rates.
