d.Paths of typhoons
After formation, typhoons often take paths follow the following 3 general directions:
1. Straight example:Saomai 2006
A general westward path affects the Philippines, southern China, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
2. Recurving example:Maemi 2003
Storms recurving affect eastern China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan.
3. Northward
From point of origin, the storm follows a northerly direction, only affecting small islands.
e.Main influences for human beings【加注3:对人类的主要影响。主要涉及灾害方面的雨、风、潮,和外围吃下沉;但是,台风降水也可能消除旱情】
Typhoons often make destruction to human beings' homestead. When they land on or even influence us just by nearing, human beings could suffer from torrential rain, storm and surge. The intense wind can destroy buildings and uprooted trees. Torrential rain can cause floods. And surge can cause sinkings of ships.【此处漏了动词,请风筝自行补上。下面加黑体的字也是原件所漏】
If some place is not too far away from or not too near a typhoon, the weather there might be sunny, extremely hot and dry. Drought could spread.
However, it is wrong that typhoon only makes destruction. Sometimes the rainfall caused by a typhoon could eliminate droughts.
f.Something interesting about typhoon【部分台风常识】
*The central pressure of a typhoon might be as low as 870hpa, about 86 percent of a standard atmosphere.【中心最低气压的极值】
*The maximum wind speed of a typhoon can reach higher than 65m/s(125knots), and it occurs near the center of the typhoon, which we call “the eye of the typhoon”. 【风眼附近,风力极其猛烈】
* At the center or saying “eye” of a typhoon, there is often no wind, though around it there is very severe wind.【眼区无风】
* Typhoon’s level contains Tropical Storm(TS), Severe Tropical Storm(STS), Typhoon(TY). Before a typhoon forms, we often call it a “Tropical Depression(TD)”.【分级】
* The scale of a typhoon can be as large as 1000 kilometers, and can also be as small as only 80 kilometers.【台风尺度】
