What are the two types of downbursts, and how are they different? how is a funnel cloud different from a tornado? list the various stages in the formation of a tropical cyclone or hurricane, in order. why does a hurricane begin to dissipate after it makes landfall? explain how the heat index and the wind chill index are similar and different. what type of severe weather prevents sweat from evaporating to cool down bodies?

1. EF-2

2. hurricane/tropical cyclone

3. recurrent weather

4. The two types of downbursts are macrobursts and microbursts. A macroburst affects an area that's greater than 2.5 miles across. A microburst affects an area that's less than 2.5 miles across.

5. A funnel cloud forms as a spinning column of air that descends from a thundercloud. However, a funnel cloud doesn't become a tornado until it actually touches the ground. Once it touches the ground, where it begins to pick up dust and debris, it becomes a tornado.

6. Tropical cyclones, such as hurricanes, are fueled by warm ocean waters. Once they make landfall, they lose this fuel source and begin to lose strength.

7. The heat index and the wind chill index are similar because both consider other factors that affect how air temperature feels. The heat index considers relative humidity in relation to air temperature. Higher humidity makes air temperatures feel hotter. The wind chill index considers wind speed in relation to air temperature. Higher wind speeds make air temperatures feel colder.

8. Heat waves—Heat waves can be very dangerous when accompanied by high humidity. The human body depends on evaporation of sweat to cool itself down on hot days. When humidity levels are high, the rate of evaporation slows down. Consequently, it becomes harder for the body to cool itself and much easier for the body to overheat.
