Cause and Effect of Earthquake, Typhoon and Tsunami

Typhoon A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops in the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean between 180 ° and 100 °E. This region is referred to as the northwest Pacific basin.[1] For organizational purposes, the northern Pacific Ocean is divided into three regions: the eastern (North America to 140 °W), central (140 °W to 180 °), and western (180 ° to 100 °E). Identical phenomena in the eastern north Pacific are called hurricanes, with tropical cyclones moving into the western Pacific re-designated as typhoons. The Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) for tropical cyclone forecasts is in Japan, with other tropical cyclone warning centers for the northwest Pacific in Honolulu (the Joint Typhoon Warning†¦show more content†¦Comets have been observed and recorded since ancient times by many different cultures. Comets have a wide range of orbital periods, ranging from several years to several millions of years. Short-period comets originate in the Kuiper belt or its associated scattered disc,[1] which lie beyond the orbit of Neptune. Longer-period comets are thought to originate in the Oort cloud, a spherical cloud of icy bodies extending from outside the Kuiper Belt to halfway to the next nearest star. Long-period comets plunge toward the Sun from the Oort cloud because of gravitational perturbations caused by either the massive outer planets of the Solar System (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) or passing stars. Rare hyperbolic comets pass once through the inner Solar System before being flung out to interstellar space along hyperbolic trajectories. Meteor METEOR (Metric for Evaluation of Translation with Explicit ORdering) is a metric for the evaluation of machine translation output. The metric is based on the harmonic mean of unigram precision and recall, with recall weighted higher than precision. It also has several features that are not found in other metrics, such as stemming and synonymy matching, along with the standard exact word matching. The metric was designed to fix some of the problems found in the more popular BLEU metric, and also produce goodShow MoreRelatedCauses and Efeects of Earthquakes999 Words   |  4 PagesCAUSES AND EFFECTS OF EARTHQUAKES, TSUNAMI AND CYCLONES EARTHQUAKES What are Earthquakes? ↠ An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earths crust that creates seismic waves.
