Parts
Of A Hurricane
 
A hurricane has 2 or 3, sometimes more
outer convective bands that are comprised of cells resembling ordinary
thunderstorms. It can be up to 300 miles away from the eye. The outer
convective bands are about 40-80 miles apart and it comes in advanced of a main
rain shield.
A rain shield is a solid area of rain
that becomes heavier as one drop approaches the eye. The outer edge is well
defined. The distance from the eye varies greatly from storm to storm.
The spiral convective rings are
regions of an active shower and thunderstorms that encircle the center of the
tropical cyclones, that moves towards the center of the hurricane storm where
it appears to go to the wall of the eye
The eye is the hole in the center of
the hurricane. It is a clam part of a hurricane. The average of a hurricanes
eye is about 20 miles. When the eye is reaching it size, the hurricane starts
to grow.
The wall is an original band of
thunderstorms that quickly surrounds the eye. It’s like around 15 miles wide.
And it contains the fiercest winds and rainfall.
