What are the benefits of typhoons and how to take advantage of them?

Typhoons are not without their faults

The recent 9-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Indonesia and the resulting tsunami claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and caused countless property losses. In my country's coastal areas, there are few historical records of tsunami damage, but typhoons occur to a greater or lesser extent almost every summer and autumn, resulting in considerable losses of life and property. As a kind of disastrous weather, it can be said that when it comes to typhoons, no one will have a favorable impression of them. However, everything has duality. Typhoons bring disasters to mankind, but if there were no typhoons, mankind would suffer even more. Scientific research has found that typhoons have at least the following benefits to humans:

First, with the surge in global population and the development of industry and agriculture, the demand for fresh water is increasing day by day, coupled with the limited fresh water resources on land. The distribution is uneven and the world's water shortage has become increasingly serious. Typhoon, a tropical storm, brings abundant fresh water to people. Typhoons bring a lot of rain to the coast of China, the Sea of ??Japan, India, Southeast Asia and the southeastern United States, accounting for more than a quarter of the total precipitation in these areas. It is very important to improve the fresh water supply and ecological environment of these areas. significance.

Secondly, tropical and subtropical areas close to the equator receive the longest sunshine hours and are unbearably dry and hot. If there are no typhoons to dissipate the heat in these areas, it will be even hotter and the surface desertification will be more serious. At the same time, the frigid zone will become colder and the temperate zone will disappear. Our country will no longer have a spring city like Kunming, nor will there be Guangzhou, which is evergreen all year round, and the "Beidacang" and Inner Mongolia grasslands will no longer exist.

Thirdly, the maximum speed of a typhoon can reach more than 200 kilometers per hour, and its energy is equivalent to the energy released when 400 2,000-ton hydrogen bombs explode. It will cause destruction wherever it goes. This huge energy can directly cause disasters to human beings, but it is also due to this huge energy flow that the earth maintains a thermal balance, allowing human beings to live and work in peace and contentment, and continue to prosper.

Fourth, during the formation and operation of typhoons with huge energy, long chains of water molecules can be broken by lightning and other effects to form active short-chain water molecules. After the organisms on the earth inhale these short-chain water molecules, they can increase the vitality of life, thereby enabling the sustainable development of the earth's ecology.

Fifth, typhoons can also increase fishing output. Whenever a typhoon hits, the rivers and seas are turned upside down, and the nutrients at the bottom of the rivers and seas are swept up. The bait increases, attracting fish to gather near the water surface, and the catch naturally increases.
