Tropical Depression

-What I did was study what is Tropical Depression all about and the other things connected to it.
- I learned how to identify if there is a Tropical Depression and classify a Tropical Depression according to it's Intensity;

  • Tropical depression which is an organized system of clouds and thunderstorms with a defined, closed surface circulation and maximum sustained winds of less than 34 knots (39 mph).,
  • Tropical Storm which is an organized system of strong thunderstorms with a defined surface circulation and maximum sustained winds between 34 knots (39 mph) and 64 knots (74 mph). and,
  • Hurricane/ Typhoon which is a system with sustained winds of at least 34 meters per second or 74 miles per hour (119 km/h).
- I can apply my learning to in other lessons related with Tropical Depression and also in my daily life because tropical depression is related with the rain or typhoons that may affect each one of us. And I can prepare myself for any typhoons or storms that will occur and tell others too so that they can prepare for the incoming typhoons or storms.

It is important to know what is Tropical Depression and what you may face during the season and what precautions to take when a storm is imminent.

Trivia:

-There are a variety of metrics commonly used to measure storm size.
-Storm "intensity" is defined as the maximum wind speed in the storm. This speed is taken as either a 1-minute or a 10-minute average at the standard reference height of 10 meters. The choice of averaging period, as well as the naming convention for classifying storms.
-Most tropical cyclones form in a worldwide band of thunderstorm activity near the equator, referred to as the Intertropical Front (ITF), the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), or the monsoon trough.
