category high 2 low 3

after it hits land it can't refuel with water


were making the atmosphere heavier which makes the gulf coast and other water warmer so the hurricanes get stronger

What level of hurricane was Ike when it made landfall?

It was a high level 2 low level 3.

why did it weaken?

It weaken because the land slowed it down.

The connection between hurricane strength and Global warming is that
warm water builds bigger hurricanes.

group 2 in Jeni's class.we think that Hurricane Ike was a catecory 2 hurricane.

We think that Hurricane Ike became weeker on land because land is cold and it became weeker.

Global warming causes the water to warm up and form a hurricane.

Global warming makes the ocean water warmer which makes the hurricanes stronger and more frequent.

Hurricane Ike was a category 2 when it hit landfall.It weakened because it had it hit land and had no more water to suck up.The global warming is heating up the water making hurricanes bigger and stronger.

Hurricane Ike was in between category 2 and 3.Ike weaken when it hit land because water makes it strong and land absorbs its strength.Water and hurricanes are connected because When the water gets hot hurricanes get formed.

Ike was category high 2 or low 3.
The hurricane weakened because the water was warm and was evaporating.
Our atmosphere is getting heavier,and
the hurricanes are getting stronger.

Hurricane Ike was a category 2 when it made landfall.Hurricane Ike got weaker over land because land absorbed it.The connection is that global warming makes water warmer and hurricanes run on warm water so more warm water means stronger hurricanes Omar,Angel,Hector

Hurricane Ike was a high category 2 a but low category 3 when it hit.Because it was too weak to go any further.Global warming makes hurricanes stronger and increases the chance of them happening

Question 1:Hurricane Ike was category 2 once it made landfall.
Question 2:It weakened once it hit landfall because the land absorbed some of the water and slowed it down. Question 3: The connection is that global warming is warming up the oceans, which supplies fuel to turn it into a living nightmare which means lots of hurricanes.

It lost a lot of water hitting the coast of TX.__answer 3. What is the connection between hurricane and GLobal Warming? The connection is between the ocean the water level is rising because of the Global warming and makes the water hotter which causes more hurricanes.

what level of hurricane was Ike when it made landfall? It was category 2. Why did it weaken after landfall? We think because it gets its power comes from warm water and in land does not have enough warm water

3.Global warming warms the water, warm water forms hurricanes.

When hurricane Ike hit landfall it was category 3.

Hurricane Ike weakened because when it hit land fall it was evaporating in to the air.

hurricane Ike gets tronger from global warming because it heats the water and hurricane Ike feeds of of warm water.

Hurricane Ike was a category 2:).

It weak because there isn't enough water to stay a hurricane.

The warmer the waters the more the hurricanes.

Hurricane Ike was a high-level category two hurricane. The hurricane
weakened after landfall because hurricanes can`t travel on land. Global Warming made the hurricane stronger because the water was warmer, causing the hurricane to become stronger.

Hurricane Ike was a category two hurricane.
It weakened after landfall because hurricanes cannot last over land.
The connection between global warming and hurricanes is the global heating that is making water warmer so hurricanes are stronger.

The Hurricane was a category 2. IKe was the second biggest Hurricane, it weaken because it hit the land, the trees and houses slowed it down. Greenhouse gases keeps the water warm but since they have increased the water has gotten warmer and the hurricanes have gotten worse.
