Infant botulism signs and symptoms may include: Botulism is caused by botulinum toxin, a poison produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The organism is common in the soil and exists in untreated water, and can survive in this environment as a resistant spore.
The eye is surrounded by the eyewall, the roughly circular ring of deep convection which is the area of highest surface winds in the tropical cyclone. The eye is composed of air that is slowly sinking and the eyewall has a net upward flow as a result of many moderate - occasionally strong - updrafts and downdrafts.
The movement of a hurricane from one location to another is known as hurricane propagation. In general, hurricanes are steered by global winds. The prevailing winds that surround a hurricane, also known as the environmental wind field, are what guide a hurricane along its path. The hurricane propagates in the direction of this wind field, which also factors into the systemâs propagation speed. While each storm makes its own path, the movement of every hurricane is affected by a combination of factors, as described below. In the tropics, where hurricanes form, easterly winds called the trade winds steer a hurricane towards the west.
