Detailed explanation-1: -The Philippines is located just above the equator and faces the western Pacific, with little else to absorb the energy of storms before they hit land. Storms are fuelled by the warm, tropical waters, which produce roughly 20 typhoons each year.
Detailed explanation-2: -A typhoon forms when winds blow into areas of the ocean where the water is warm. These winds collect moisture and rise, while colder air moves in below. This creates pressure, which causes the winds to move very quickly. The winds rotate, or spin, around a center called an eye.
Detailed explanation-3: -The development of the surface depression causes an increase in the strength of the trade winds. The spiralling winds accelerate inwards and upwards, releasing heat and moisture as they do so. As the depression strengthens it becomes a tropical storm and then a hurricane or typhoon.
Detailed explanation-4: -The most frequently impacted areas of the Philippines by tropical cyclones are northern Luzon and eastern Visayas.
Detailed explanation-5: -Typhoons bring strong winds and heavy rains resulting in flooding, great damage to crops, houses and buildings, and death due to accidents. Climate change affects the increase in the intensity of typhoons.
