Question

Typhoons(台风)are some of the worst storms ususlly around the Pacific Ocean and South China sea.Most happen in July August and September.

How does a typhoon happen?When lots of seawater gets hot in the summer sun it evaporates into the air.This makes the air hotter.When the air gets warm enough it starts to move higher up into the sky.Then cooler air around it rushes in .It fills the space that is left.After the air gets warmer it starts to move quickly making wind.The wind goes in circles and it keeps moving hgher in the sky.The warmer the air gets the quicker the wind moves.And when the wind moves faster than 30meters a second a typhoon begins.

A typhoon has two parts.One is callde the “eye”.In the eye the wind does not move so fast.The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye.This is where the strongest winds and heaviest rains are.
