It's just that usually they're so small nobody really notices.NYC subway rider who placed unhinged man in deadly chokehold released: cops true It turns out that meteotsunami -tsunami caused by weather - are actually pretty common. true A tsunami is called a "shallow water wave" because the wavelength of a tsunami is longer than the depth of the ocean. false On land, a tsunami is more destructive than a wind-driven wave of the same height because of its longer wavelength. false "Tidal wave" is an accurate description of a tsunami. true A rogue wave is defined as giant wave on otherwise calm seas. false The Beaufort scale ranks wind based on the conditions observed at sea. true Like light and sound waves, wind-driven waves travel at the same speed regardless of their wavelength. false In the open ocean, large wind-driven waves are more hazardous than tsunami. true Every cyclone has a cold front, a warm front, and an occluded front. true Midlatitude cyclones often grow when they are just ahead (or downstream, to the east) of an "upper-level" trough, where upper-level divergence occurs. false Unlike hurricanes, midlatitude cyclones have a cold center. true Midlatitude cyclones only occur during the winter. false If you ever get stuck in a car in a blizzard, you must take care not to get carbon monoxide poisoning. false When rain freezes immediately upon hitting the ground, it is called sleet. true Wind chill describes the impact of humidity on how cold you feel.
false Frostbite occurs when tissue in your body begins to freeze.
true Hypothermia occurs when the inside of your body begins to freeze. true Tornadoes cannot always be confirmed by radar often a human spotter is needed. false Radar reflectivity is more sensitive to drop size than amount you can't always tell how much actual water is up there. false Tornado warnings occur when a doppler radar detects a tornado on the ground. true Doppler radar can only measure motions that are side-to-side from the radar's point of view, NOT towards or away from the radar. false A swirling column of cloud is called a funnel cloud until it touches the ground then it is called a tornado. true Most people who die in tornadoes get sucked up because they were outside. true One difference between a single-cell thunderstorm and a supercell thunderstorm is the latter is tilted. true A building destroyed by a tornado likely lost its roof before the walls were knocked over. A long line of thunderstorms, often ahead of a front, is called a SQUALL line.
