Chain
reaction (feedback mechanism):
|
|
|
|
– |
Rising
air releases more heat
|
|
|
|
– |
Increases
surface low & upper level high
|
|
|
|
– |
Stronger
surface winds
|
|
|
|
– |
More
waves and friction
|
|
|
• |
Controlling
factors are the temperature of
|
|
|
|
the
water and the release of latent heat.
|
|
|
• |
When
storm is full of thunderstorms, it has
|
|
|
used
up all available energy.
