Answers
Answer:
a Tropical cyclone can damage your life severely but overtime it will get better, and it can be formed from a simple thunderstorm then gradually draw more energy to itself to attain the name Tropical Cyclone a deadly natural disaster/hazard like bushfires or floods. The interesting bit of all is that from a simple thunderstorm you need cooperation from both the ocean and the atmosphere to form a complete Tropical Cyclone which is deadly no matter where it is because if it is in the ocean there will be big waves cause by this hazard and if it were in a continent with people nearby the wind which is fast will cause great damage to everything around it.
The Hudhud cyclone has brought to the fore the importance of timely detection of disasters and taking all precautionary and preventive measures to minimise their impact. The fact that such few lives were lost due to the cyclone points to the prompt and coordinated action taken by the state and central governments, which is a commendable. The crucial role played by the different agencies in the massive evacuation of people from the affected areas as well as relief and rescue operations are praiseworthy. But there has also been massive damage to land, crops and infrastructure including roads, highways, buildings, power transmission lines, etc. Much of this could have been avoided with better management of the environment. As pointed out earlier, removal of the thick tree cover on the hills, which would have protected Visakhapatnam city from the fury of cyclones, has contributed to the large-scale infrastructure damage and losses. There has also been a dramatic reduction in mangrove forests and wetland vegetation, which are considered to be natural barriers against storms, flooding, coastal erosion and strong waves. Their presence helps reduce disaster losses.
