how do cyclones impact on humans and the environment
Answers
Answer:
It can cause great destruction.
Explanation:
Cyclones cause a lot of damage on the human environment. Before a cyclone strikes all the people in the area are preparing for it. Cyclones can cost a lot of money for people to prepare for and to make their houses safe. They have to prepare their house by covering all the windows with wood and by tying down loose objects in outside their house. People have to make sure all the trees around the houses aren't too big so that when they fall they won’t damage the owners house or their neighbour’s house. Before a cyclone strikes, most of the population evacuate leaving them homeless with nowhere to go but an emergency shelter erected by the government.
Once a cyclone has hit it can cause mass damage to the human environment. The cyclone's strong winds can rip the roof of a house or destroy it entirely. It can send flying debris into houses. Any objects that have not been tied down will get sent flying most likely never to be found again.
Flooding caused by the cyclone can cause still water in places where it shouldn't be which causes disease. Cyclone's can make the sewage pipes block up and stop working and sewage can get spilt everywhere which also causes disease. The diseases then spread making many people sick. These sick people have limited access to medical help as the hospitals have been destroyed.
Cyclones out at sea can also destroy ships and cause shipwrecks which can cause many deaths. Money can also be lost if the ship is carrying expensive cargo.
After a cyclone has struck and the strong winds and flooding have subsided, people start to return to their houses to inspect the damage. Often the damage they find is devastating as almost everything is destroyed and thousands of people are left homeless.
It costs billions of dollars to repair a city after a cyclone has hit. Houses, roads, sewage pipes and power lines all need to be rebuilt.
