Typhoons

I've always been interested in typhoons, mainly because I live in the Philippines and we get affected by strong winds very often. As you probably know, a typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that is common to the western part of the North Pacific Ocean. Although there are no official typhoon seasons, we can tell when a tropical cyclone is likely to hit. It's such an important issue that even children in the Philippine schools learn about the requirements for typhoon formation. The cyclone develops when six criteria are met: when the surface of the sea heats up, the temperature of the air fluctuates, the air is humid, there's a low front, the winds are not horizontal and there's enough Coriolis force. Here, in the Philippines, we receive the worst part of the cyclone force, which all the past incidents confirmed, so it comes as no surprise that the island makes all the efforts to protect itself from the disastrous effects of the winds and torrential rain. However, from what I can see, there's little that people can do to save their houses and lives. Such is the power of the cyclone that all one can do is observe the changing weather, issue warnings and evacuate the area in time, well at least in my humble opinion. Houses won't be rescued but human beings will survive.

One of the factors that helps a typhoon form is ...

(4)___________ have been accusations that the symbol has occult or anti-Christian associations. However, the origins of the symbol have been clearly described, both in letters and in interviews, by Gerald Holtom. His first original drawings are now on display as part of the Commonweal Collection in Bradford, England.
