Wind Phenomenom

 Sandstorms

Sandstorms are very harmful to humankind they are the number 3 weather condition that can cause serious harm to people in the US. During the 1960s eight sandstorms caused some serious damage 13 more in the 1970s 14 in the 80s and more than 20 in the 1990s. Australia was having problems with sandstorms. They cost Australia about $20 million a year in medical bills because of asthma and respiratory disease which is thought to be caused by sandstorms. So what causes sandstorms?

How are sandstorms caused?

Sandstorms occur when winds strengthen to the point where they’re able to lift grains of sand off the ground and blow them through the air. They tend to happen the most frequently in sandy areas such as deserts. For example, sandstorms are quite common in the Sahara Desert. Similar storms can arise in many areas around the world. When the top layer of soil consists primarily of dirt and rock rather than sand these storms are usually called sandstorms. 

How to survive a sandstorm

So how do you survive a sandstorm? If you’re not in a place with any available buildings around to shelter you here are some tips. Don’t try to outrun it on foot. Wet a bandana or piece of cloth and place it over your nose and mouth you can use a shirt, sleeve, etc… Protect your eyes with your arm or a piece of cloth. Shield yourself from flying objects. If you’re in a car you can detour around it depending on the speed of it but a safer option is to just go find a safe place with shelter. 

Black Sunday

Black Sunday was one of the worst dust storms in America’s history started as a bright clear sunny day it was April 14, 1935. People took advantage of this day by visiting people, going on picnics, aired out their house, and just enjoyed the day. But by 4 pm the skies turned black. Dust cloud came barreling on them without warning. It was so thick you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. The cloud was over 1,000 miles long that’s 182 mount Everests or 17,600 football fields. Of those who survived that day, many came down with “dust pneumonia”. Much like a coal miner’s “black lung”, this was a build-up of dust in the lungs, leaving the sufferer with lifelong asthma and other respiratory ailments.

There are many types of weird and wild wind phenomenons hope this information report helped you understand a bit more about them and hope you enjoyed reading.

Sitting at the front of the school

 Sitting at the front of the school

The smell of fresh air and wind in my face. The breeze lightly blew the branches of the tall trees caving in the school driveway. Sitting at the front of the school I felt the hard brick wall piercing my bare legs. The sound of birds chirping and branches blowing was music to my ears but cars passing drowned the noise out and focussed my attention on people chatting around me. The sun was hidden by the grey thick clouds but the air still felt warm. Lost in my thoughts, the bright blue of the school distracted me and brought me back to earth. My eyes wandered and shortly landed on a grey car with a man in a police uniform emerging from it. A van pulls in, guys run past and shortly we head back through the long cave like driveway. On the way Nevaeh found a piece of a fanta box and she put it on her shoe. Then Zahrn found a gumboot and threw it at Nevaeh. Finally, when we arrived at class I took a seat at my desk and thought about writing my draft.

What is Wind

What is Wind

 What is wind? The wind has always been very important to humans. We use it for sailboats and we make electricity from wind turbines. Wind can be used to fly kites to pump water and many other things. Wind can dry your clothes in the summer or chill you to your bones in the winter. 

What is wind?

Wind is produced by the uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. It takes only eight minutes for sunlight to travel from the Sun to the surface of the Earth. As the Earth’s surface warms, so does the air that touches it. And when the air gets warm enough, it rises high into the sky. This is how hot air balloons fly. When warm air rises, nearby air that’s cooler rushes in to fill the empty space left behind. The rushing air is what we call wind. Since the earth’s surface is made of different land and water formations, it absorbs the sun’s heat unevenly. Air under high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure. The greater the difference in pressure, the faster the air flows. Wind is made up of 78% Nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1-4% water vapour.

Wellington Winds

Wellington sees gusts of about 75km 50 days of the year at the airport while Auckland's winds get over 65km/h on only about 50 days of the year, while Christchurch averages 60 days and Invercargill 90. Wellington's strongest recorded gust of 247kmh was measured on Hawkins Hill in 1962, just a few miles from the city centre. On average Wellington can see 173 days above 59km/hr and 22 days above 74km/hr. 233 was the number of days winds topped gale-force speed in Wellington's windiest year.

Wind energy 

Windmills have been in use since 2000. They were first developed in Persia and China. Ancient mariners used wind power to sail to different lands, and farmers used it to pump water and for grinding grains.

The largest wind turbine in the world is in Hawaii, USA. It stands 20 stories tall and has blades the length of a football field. The first house in the world to have its electricity supplied by wind power was in Kincardineshire, Scotland in 1887. The largest turbines can harness energy to power 600 UK homes. These turbines form wind farms and hundreds are arranged in lines in windy spots like a ridge.
