How climate change affects tropical storms

• How does climate change affect tropical storms?

  It can cause an increase in sea temperature and sea level
• What does evidence suggest about the frequency of tropical storms?

  They may become more intense but not necessarily more frequent
• How does warmer seas affect the distribution of tropical storms?

  Source areas for tropical storms become further north and south of the equator
• How do longer storm seasons form which links to tropical stompers and climate change?


  They’re becoming longer, so more storms form during the years. As atmosphere warms, it can stay warm for longer which is the prime area for tropical storms to form in the ocean
• How does heavier rainfall and flooding link with tropical storms and climate change?

  Tropical storms bring heavy rain, which can lead to flooding. A warmer climate increases the risk of flooding
