The term microcomputer is generally synonymous with personal computer (PC) , or a computer that depends on a microprocessor. Microcomputers are designed to be used by individuals, whether in the form of PCs, workstations or notebook computers.
This model assumes that waves vary in a regular way around the average (so-called 'significant') wave height. In a storm sea with a significant wave height of 12 metres (39.4 ft), the model suggests there will hardly ever be a wave higher than 15 metres (49.2 ft). One of 30 metres (98.4 ft) could indeed happen â but only once in ten thousand years (of wave height of 12 metres [39.4 ft]).
A hurricane is a huge storm! It can be up to 600 miles across and have strong winds spiraling inward and upward at speeds of 75 to 200 mph. Each hurricane usually lasts for over a week, moving 10-20 miles per hour over the open ocean.Hurricanes gather heat and energy through contact with warm ocean waters.torm surges are frequently the most devastating element of a hurricane. As a hurricanes winds spiral around and around the storm, they push water into a mound at the storms center. This mound of water becomes dangerous when the storm reaches land because it causes flooding along the coast.
