 Tropische depessies (Orkaan, Cycloon, Tyfoon)

Een orkaan, cycloon, tyfoon of taifoen is een tropische depressie met doorstaande stormwind
van kracht 12 (orkaankracht) op de schaal van Beaufort of meer. Ze komen het meest voor in
de gebieden tussen de keerkringen. Een orkaan ontstaat uit een tropische depressie. In de
documentaires hieronder wordt uitgebreid ingegaan op het fenomeen 'Tropische depressie'.

Wetenschappers leggen een verband tussen de opwarming van de aarde en de stijging
en intensiteit van tropische stormen, alhoewel de meningen uiteenlopen
(artikel 1, artikel 2).

Meer over tropische stormen vind je op Deadly storms en de links op de homepage.

 Tropical storms (Hurricane, Cyclone, Typhoon)

A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a large low-pressure center and numerous
thunderstorms that produce strong winds and heavy rain. Tropical cyclones feed on heat released
when moist air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapor contained in the moist air. The
documentaries below shows us all about the phenomenon.

Scientists link frequency and intensity of tropical storms with global warming, although opinions
not always agree (article 1, article 2).
