hurricanes and tornadoes: table

This table shows the difference between two strong types of wind, hurricanes and tornadoes.

Hurricanes have a higher minimum wind speed of 74mph and only 40mph for tornadoes; but a lower maximum speed. In classification scales both have their own classification system; hurricanes classified by Saffir – Simpson’s c1-c5 scale and tornadoes scaled by Fujita f0-f5. A hurricane’s duration is, on average, one week and it’s always more than the tornadoes whose duration is mostly a few minutes or sometimes up to a few hours. The average width of hurricanes is greater than the tornadoes width usually. Hurricanes average number per year is a hundred but tornadoes occur twenty times per year. To predict a hurricane you need about two to three days but tornadoes happen suddenly and you can predict them it only twenty minutes before they occur. Tornadoes usually start over land and hurricanes starts over warm oceans.

In brief hurricanes can be predicted so we can prepare for them before they come but tornadoes occur suddenly and when they hit they destroy everything in thier way.

NY had the steadiest growth and there was not such a big difference between the years 1950 and 2015. Other cities' population increased rapidly but Bombay had the biggest growth in its population, from about 3M in 1950 to about 27M in 2015.

reflection 3 : Argument essay

In argument the writer should discuss the different opinions and state the problems briefly.

Firstly in the introduction I should start by stating the problem and why the problem is important to the society.

In the second paragraph I show the opposite side and give the other opinions which say that the smoking is a human right and that it should be legal because smoking helps them to relax.

Thirdly state the personal viewpoint of the case by giving the reasons that support your own viewpoint about the problem.

In conclusion you put the two opinions together then represent your view fairly.

smoking argument

At the end of the 15th century the tobacco was discovered. People thought that smoking was a good thing and a whole new smoking culture started , but then scientists discovered that smoking causes lung cancer and that made the governments start to put some restrictions on the smoking and they forced the companies to issue a health warning.

There are many arguments going on about the personal privacy and the freedom; they say that it is their lives and it is a personal right if they want to smoke in private because it is their money and their own health. Another argument is about the smoking and that it helps the smokers to get relaxed and that it is useful if the smokers smoke a certain amount.

In my opinion non-smokers have their rights as well because if they smoked in public the others who do not smoke will get affected also because of the passive smoking and that causes some health problems for them and this thing infringes on the non-smokers’ rights. The other argument is about the relaxing effect of smoking and I fully disagree with them because the effect is short term but in the long term they will suffer heart and lung problems which makes their lives too sad and tragic.

The smokers have their own reasons and they, for sure, have rights but in my opinion the freedom to smoke is not an individual right because it is a slow suicide and because the tax payers in any society have to pay the treatment price if he gets sick.

The traffic congestion in Abu Dhabi

Around the world the transportation systems are the main topic that the governments take care of when they start to develop the country but sometimes there are some problems which disturb the development procedure and in Abu Dhabi the traffic congestion and parking problems are one of the main problems that the city is facing. In this essay I will discuss the problem and suggest some solutions for it.
In Abu Dhabi the road systems were built around 1989 and since then many adjustments happened but the old engineers were not aware of the big economic improvement that was going on in Abu Dhabi. Then in the last four years the problem started to get worse rapidly because of the huge increase of population in Abu Dhabi. The structure of the island of Abu Dhabi limited the possibilities of rebuilding and that made a big challenge for the new generations to improve the roads. The main problem for redesigning the roads are the buildings and the houses in the city itself because they cannot be destroyed and the roads are already fixed. In Abu Dhabi the DOT started to recreate some new roads and they maintained some roads and that cause a huge jam problem in the city but they are planning to finish the problem by 2013.
There are many solutions for the problem but the federal government of Abu Dhabi is aiming for a permanent solution by moving the city center to the mainland which gives them open areas to start with but there must be temporary solutions which can be done in an easy way. The solution is to add more public transport which makes the peoples able to use it instead of their cars which decreases car numbers on the roads.
The problem is a general problem around the world and there are big and huge cities such as Tokyo, NY, London which are facing this problem but with some patience and hard work the problem can be solved easily.
