What are the advantages and disadvantages of typhoons?

Advantages and disadvantages of typhoons are as follows:

First of all, the benefits of typhoons

1. Typhoon can bring a lot of rain to the coast of China, the coast of the Sea of Japan, India, Southeast Asia and the southeastern United States, and eliminate drought. Typhoon rainfall accounts for more than 1/4 of the total rainfall in these areas, bringing abundant fresh water resources.

2. The tropical and subtropical areas near the equator have the longest sunshine time, and the dry heat is unbearable. Typhoon can disperse the heat in these areas, regulate the earth's heat with this huge energy flow, maintain the heat balance, and make human beings live and work in peace and contentment.

3. Typhoon can increase fishing. Whenever a typhoon blows, it will roll up the nutrients at the bottom of the river and the seabed, increase the bait, attract fish to gather near the water surface, and naturally increase the catch.

Second, the disadvantages of typhoons.

1, causing strong winds. The maximum wind force near the center of tropical cyclone reaches typhoon level 12 or above, and the maximum speed can reach more than 200 kilometers per hour, which is extremely destructive wherever it goes.

2, causing heavy rain. The area where the typhoon passes will produce rainfall of150 ~ 300mm, and a few typhoons can directly or indirectly produce torrential rain of more than1000mm.

3. Lead to storm surge. Typhoons generally increase water in coastal waters, and the maximum increase of water in coastal areas of Jiangsu Province can reach 3 meters, which will cause floods in inland areas. In severe cases, it will destroy crops and various building facilities, resulting in huge losses of people's lives and property.

Extended data

Suggestions on measures to prevent typhoon disasters are as follows:

1, strengthen leadership and close cooperation between departments.

Governments at all levels should further raise their awareness, correctly handle the relationship between economic development and security, strengthen their leadership in typhoon prevention, earnestly implement the chief executive responsibility system, and raise the typhoon prevention work to a new level to meet the needs of social and economic development.

2, strengthen the publicity and education of typhoon prevention knowledge.

Through TV, radio, newspapers, brochures and other publicity channels, we will vigorously publicize and popularize the knowledge of Taiwan prevention, so as to make it known to all ages, constantly improve the awareness of Taiwan prevention and disaster reduction and the ability of safety and self-help of the whole society, and understand the government's Taiwan prevention countermeasures.

3. Accelerate the construction of seawalls and improve defense capabilities.

Seawall is an important engineering facility to prevent moisture and typhoon, and an important barrier and infrastructure to ensure the safety of coastal cities and villages.

4. Strengthen the construction of meteorological and hydrological monitoring and early warning communication.

Coastal areas should speed up the construction of wireless communication networks for flood control at the county and township levels and implement typhoon prevention work at the grassroots level. We should continue to improve the modern technical level of the monitoring and early warning system and learn the operation, analysis and application of satellite cloud images.
