Стихійні лиха в Україні. На англ.мові.

The main types of natural weather events:► Debris rains. The most common (95-100% probability), they fall in the Carpathians and determine mudflows, avalanches and shifts;► Strong snowstorm, snowfall. Blizzards are connected with the movement of cyclones from the south and south-west. Poor visibility during snowstorms and heavy snow drifts create a lot of difficulties in the operation of various types of transport, and in the work on construction sites;► Strong wind (with a maximum speed of over 25 m / s), squalls, tornadoes. Most often, this wind is observed in mountain areas, as well as Donetsk, Volyn and Podolia uplands;► Mists - a cluster hung in the surface layer of the atmosphere of water droplets or ice crystals, which degrades the horizontal visibility at a distance of 1 km. The intensity of very strong distinction fog (visibility less than 50 meters), strong (50-200 m), moderate (201-500 m) and weak (501-1000 m);► The storm - a complex atmospheric phenomenon, which is accompanied by electrical discharges, significant rainfall and frequent hail. The storm belongs to the hazards, the effect of which can cause significant loss of activity and even life-threatening;► Grad - round or irregularly shaped particles of ice that fall for the most part in the warm season of the powerful cumulonimbus clouds with considerable vertical movement and high moisture content. Hail causes substantial losses to agriculture, damaging crops, vineyards, fruit trees, large areas. The amount of loss depends on the size of the hail, their density and intensity of precipitation;► Flurry - a short sharp increase in wind speed, which is formed in cumulonimbus clouds, accompanied by a change in wind direction and observed during thunderstorms and showers. During a flurry of broken trees, destroyed crops, destroyed buildings, sometimes even possible loss of human life;► Tornado - a whirlwind of a complex structure with a vertical axis, which descends from the lower limit of powerful cumulonimbus clouds to the earth's surface. In the form of light or dark funnel, which rotates and is characterized by significant wind speeds, powerful descending and ascending currents, a large difference in atmospheric pressure, from the center to the periphery of the funnel that creates an extremely complex energy of a tornado;► Dust or black storm - a phenomenon that is caused by the transfer of large amounts of dust or sand is accompanied by strong winds and poor visibility. Dust storm occurs when dry weather and when the wind speed gain to values ​​at which the blowing of the underlying surface of the dust or sand.✔ to natural phenomena, the effect of which often leads to significant losses in various sectors of economy of Ukraine belongs to the heavy rain, which falls during the 30 mm and more precipitation in 12 hours or less. Heavy rains are observed in Ukraine every year. In addition, the activity of man and the environment of heavy snowfall affected negatively.
