Understanding nature and effects of world travel and tourism
P3 - Produce a report on climatic conditions and their effects to worldwide destinations.
I have been asked to produce a report about climatic conditions and their effects to worldwide destinations.
- Climatic conditions
Earthquakes – Earthquakes are a shaking, trembling or concussion of the earth which makes the earth vibrate due to causes of underground volcanic movement which makes a certain rumbling noise. The wave shock can sometimes move half a hemisphere. This can destroy many towns/cities and many thousand lives. They can also be called earth din, earthquakes and earth shocks.
- Droughts - Most rainfall depends on water vapour carried by winds from an ocean or other source of moisture. If these moisture-carrying winds are replaced by winds from a dry region, or if they are modified by downward motion, as in the centre of an anticyclone, the weather is abnormally dry and often persistently cloudless. Its also a period or condition of unusually dry weather within a geographic area where rainfall is normally present.
- Hurricanes - A hurricane occurs when a storm starts to brew over the ocean. As it makes contact with warm ocean waters — if the temperature of the water is above 26.5 degrees Celsius (80 Fahrenheit) — the storm's heat and energy intensify. Winds rotate counter clockwise around a calm centre (the "eye"). When the sustained speed of the winds reaches 74 mi (119 km) per hour, the storm is officially classified as a hurricane.
-
Flooding- A combination of storms, tides and low air pressure, Flooding is normally caused by natural weather events such as: heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, mainly over a short period rivers or oceans overflowing their banks. Also occurs when a large amount of snow melts and causes a flood.
How they can effect travel to world wide destinations
Climatic conditions such as earthquake, flooding, drought, hurricane and many others, have a huge affect on travel to worldwide destination because: - Flights would be cancelled.
- Tourists would be afraid of going to the country that is suffering those climatic conditions.
- If the tourist is already in the country he/she could get affected like everyone else in the country.
- Tourists would have problems on going back to their own countries
- Delayed flights
