Where is B?

It was edited out and I forgot to change C to B.

Vershamen (a German word)

Maybe my sore knee is distracting me.

I'd rather blame Kamal (Shadenfreude, another German word)

D. The waves also have land mines, shifting sand bars,
water spouts,
Bermuda Triangles, The Great White Whale (Moby Dick), etc.

And hurricanes.

Right! I knew I forgot something...but...by definition (at
least someone's definition) is it not true that hurricanes
can only happen, basically, over land? Before landfall,
aren't they called "tropical depressions" or disturbances?
Yeah, I see the increasing high windspeeds _before_ the eye
hits land, but for most of those paths over water, the
windspeeds are much lower, no? What is the expert's
viewpoint on this?


The huricane is named depending on wind speed alone, not its
proximity to land.

Huricanes most often slow some as they approach land... a few
rare exceptions.

Tropical depression is a term used to define a forming
storm..it may or may not develop into a huricane/

To develop into a huricane there needs to be an energy
source... that happens over warm water, such as the caribean
and Gulf of mexico... once onto land it looses the warm water
power source.

warm water powers the huricane by means of water vapors rising
into the low pressure cone...these spin as the air moves less
directly with the earths rotation as the land masses etc...
the air tries to stay in one place. the land masses moving at
1,000 miles per hour under the air mass, causes the spin...
the spin creates a vortex, with a vacuum in the middle... it
is this suction that pulls water vapor from the warm sea.

All this is a huge mass, spinning ...creating a larger vacuum
in the vortex., pulling up more water vapor....the centrifical
force of the spin throws the water vapor and air mass out from
the central vortex.. enlarging the vortex. more warm sea area
is exposed to the vacuum... thats how it grows.

cool sea water stops the cycle... land stops the cycle.. thats
why these die over land... when half is over the sea and half
is over the land there is enough warm water and interia to
keep the thing alive while it tears up real estate.



Tornado's are different...those are spins and eddies caused by
a warm air mass rubbing against a cold one, creating local
spins.. these gain power when the resulting low pressure
vortex in the center sucks in the surrounding warm air, and
throws it outward in a spiral... similar to a huricane, but
the fuel is warm air over the top of it..instead of warm sea
water under it.

Depressions are simple low pressure areas, that spin because
of drag against the atmosphere cause by the rotation of the
earth (1,000 mph)

if the depression gets enough spin going, it turns into lower
classes of rotating storms... but without warm water, over
land, these do not turn into huricanes... they stay as storms,
and when rubbing against cold air spawn tornado's
