why can category 5 tropical cyclones be more destructive than category 1 tropical cyclones​

Answers 2

Answer:

Category 1 hurricanes are considered the least destructive on the scale. These storms can produce sustained winds of 100 to 150 km per hour. Wind speeds at this velocity are capable of causing damage to small houses. Relatively large tree branches may snap, and some trees can be uprooted and thrown about. As a consequence, there may be power line damage triggering power outages.

Explanation:

Whereas Category 5 hurricanes are rare, the damage caused by these winds is often catastrophic. With wind velocities reaching 250 km per hour or higher, even larger buildings are brought down by this extreme force of nature. Many homes will be destroyed, and major power outages can last many weeks or months.

Therefore, category 5 cyclones can be more destructive than category 1 tropical cyclones

Mark me if the answer is good.

Category 5 could be a lot bigger than category 1 and spend considerably more time in a location.

What is a Category 1 cyclone?

These are low-pressure systems that form over warm tropical waters. Can uproot trees and cause flooding in coastal areas with maximum sustained wind speeds of 119-153 km/h.

What is a Category 5 cyclone?

Category 5 is the highest classification on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. These cyclones are extremely dangerous with widespread destruction with maximum sustained wind speeds of more than 280km/h.

Thus, a category 5 hurricane can have a lot more rain causing a lot of damage by flooding and landslides than a category 1 hurricane.

The sum of first 40 numbers (1 to 40) is = ?​

Answer:

1030

Step-by-step explanation:

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15etc gives u 1030

Answer: The Sum of first forty natural numbers equals to 820.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to the sum of first 40 numbers

Sum of n natural numbers = sn

Sn = [ n ( n + 1 )/ 2 ]

Sum of 'n' natural numbers = (n(n+1))/2

Here n=40

Therefore, sum of 40 natural numbers = (40(40+1))/2

​=20 x 41

=820

Hence, we get that the Sum of first forty natural numbers equals to 820.
