Weather professionals know them as tropical cyclones, but they arecalled hurricanes in the Caribbean Sea, typhoons in the Pacific Ocean, and cyclones in the IndianOcean. They occur in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Large ones have destroyedcities and killed hundreds of thousands of people.Tropical cyclones begin over water that is warmer than 27 degrees Celsius (80 degreesFahrenheit) slightly north or south of the earth’s equator. Warm, humid air full of water vapormoves upward. The earth's rotation causes the growing storm to start to rotate around its center(called the eye). At the certain height, the water vapor condenses, changing to liquid and releasingheat. The heat draws more air and water vapor upward, creating cycle as air and water vapor riseand liquid water falls. If the cycle speeds up until winds reach 118 kilometers per hour, the stormqualifies as tropical cyclone.© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5Most deaths in tropical cyclones are caused by storm surge. This is rise in sea level,sometimes seven meters or more, caused by the storm pushing against the ocean's surface. Stormsurge was to blame for the flooding of New Orleans in 2005. The storm surge of Cyclone Nargis in2008 in Myanmar pushed seawater nearly four meters deep some 40 kilometers inland, resultingin many deaths.Question 36.

But in theSeattle area, and within and beyond the Puget Sound region, it means great deal more. "Urbanagriculture doesn't necessarily equate to production that occurs only in metropolitan urban area,"says Jason Niebler, who directs the Sustainable Agriculture Education (SAgE) initiative at SeattleCentral Community College. "It means we are providing for growing population food needs fromsurrounding rural landscapes, as well as from the core urban landscape."Picture series of concentric circles, with an urban core that produces some food atvarying capacities, surrounded by series of outlying rings of small farms that become increasinglymore rural with distance. The hope is that such land use planning, from the inner core to the outerrings, will encourage local ecologically sound sustainable food production. This, in turn, will createlocal jobs and decrease reliance on distant food products that originate from petroleum-intensivelarge scale farms.That's the idea behind SAgE, believed to be the nation's first metropolitan-basedcommunity college sustainable agriculture program that emphasizes farming practices acrossdiverse landscape types from urban centers to surrounding rural environs. "It's small scaleagriculture with an urban focus" Niebler says. "Any urban population, large or small, can practicesustainable agriculture, improve food security and protect the environment, which ultimatelyresults in resilient food systems and communities."SAgE is part of National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education (ATE)Program, which is providing the project with $157,375 over two years. ATE's goal is to supportprojects that strengthen the skills of technicians who work in industries regarded as vital to thenational's prosperity and security. The support largely goes to community colleges that work inpartnership with universities, secondary schools, businesses and industries, as well as governmentagencies, which design and implement model workforce initiatives.The SAgE project focuses on the environmental, socioeconomic, political and cultural issuesrelated to sustainable food systems, within Puget Sound watersheds through student and© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5community education and research, and technological innovation. The curriculum offers coursesthat cover such issues as agricultural ecology, urban food systems, food politics and ethics, soilscience, sustainable food production and technology, the integration of food and forests, and careeropportunities."We've created curriculum that is fundamental in nature, addressing the principles ofsustainable agriculture and what food system is how it functions both locally and globally,"Niebler says. "These courses are challenging, robust and inspirational. One of the really wonderfulthings about them is that we offer service learning opportunities, where students volunteer aportion of their time to working with local partner organizations. They can do research project,or service learning option. The ideal would be to prompt students into careers that involvesustainable practices in an urban agriculture setting."( Adapted from "Promoting Sustainable Agriculture" by Mariene Cimons )Question 43.
