This video explains the formation and characteristics of hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones or typhoons. It highlights how warm air rises, creating low pressure systems that rotate due to the Earth's spin. The video also...

The Tumbleweed Rover is NASA's innovative Mars Rover concept that is propelled by wind power. It can transmit data to an orbiting satellite and has the potential to explore arid planets and search for subsurface water. With its...

Technology Today 1405

Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons are formed due to violent storms that originate over oceans and seas and move towards land, potentially causing extensive damage to both life and property. But there is a very interesting thing related...

A tornado forms when there is a hot layer of atmospheric air that is covered by a relatively cold, dry bank of air above. When the warm air at the bottom of the atmosphere rises (due to its temperature), it pushes up on the cold air...

The reason airplane flights take longer when traveling west is because of the different speeds of rotation on Earth. The rotational velocity of Earth decreases as one goes from the Equator to the poles. This means that a place on the...

The awesome and devastating power of tornadoes is unlike any other that Mother Nature dishes out. The largest among them, known as EF5s, produce winds in excess of 200 mph and can span two miles across. We discuss the surprising fact...

In 2005, New Orleans was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The city had flood defences which were meant to protect it. Why did these fail and could this happen again? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Hurricane Katrina hit New...

The first probe to successfully land on another planet arrived on Venus, where it found one of the most hostile atmospheres known to man. Physics - Our Solar System - Learning Points. In 1971, the Russians succeeded in landing the Venera...

The legendary El Niño effect causes dramatic shifts of weather, resulting in droughts and floods across the globe. It can all be traced to winds dying down over the Pacific ocean. Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. El Niño is a...

The weather systems on our planet are all driven by one thing: air. Discover how our weather is driven by energy from the Sun, affecting the movement of air. Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Our weather is a chaotic and complex...

Around the world monsoons bring huge volumes of seasonal rain to certain regions. The best known is the Asian monsoon, but why does it happen? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Monsoons are heavy rainfalls concentrated over the...

What is wind and what are localised winds? Find out about the global cycles which take winds right across the world. Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Wind begins with the difference in air pressure. Air moves from areas of high...
