Answer 2

What led up to the disaster? What is the theory on what caused it?

Answer 3

The Bangladesh cyclone of 1991 started after an area of clouds had persistently developed into the Bay of Bengal and reached wind speeds of over 74 mph, formin a cyclone.

Answer 4

An area of persistent cloudiness, in part due to the monsoon trough, developed into a tropical depression on April 22 in the Bay of Bengal. The wind speed and overall size increased, with the depression becoming Tropical Storm 02B on the 24th. The enormous wind field at the time encompassed nearly the entire bay.

The tropical storm continued slowly northwestward, slowly strengthening to a cyclone-strength storm on the 27th. The cyclone moved between a high pressure system to its northwest and east, and as mid-level westerlies met up with the storm, the cyclone moved northeastward. The westerlies enhanced upper level outflow, and in combination with warm water temperatures the cyclone steadily strengthened to a major hurricane on the 28th.

On the 28th and 29th, as the system increased its speed to the north-northeast, the cyclone rapidly intensified to a 160 mph Cyclone, the equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane. Late on the 29th, Cyclone 02B made landfall a short distance south of Chittagong as a slightly weaker 155 mph Category 4 Cyclone. The storm rapidly weakened over land, and dissipated on the 30th over southeast Asia.

Answer 7

Do you need me to paraphrase the above explanation?

Answer 8

can u ???

Answer 9

Basically, the monsoon played a major factor in this cyclone forming. It developed into a tropical depression, and then a cyclone, covering most of the bay of bengal. The prevailing westerlies, which are winds blowing westwards, fed this storm.

The storm increased its speed to the north-northeast direction, the cyclone rapidly intensified to a 160 mph Cyclone, the equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane. (Huricanes rated to 1-5 based on wind speed.

Late on the 29th, Cyclone 02B made landfall a short distance south of Chittagong (a district in Bengal) as a slightly weaker 155 mph Category 4 Cyclone. The storm rapidly weakened over land, and dissipated on the 30th over southeast Asia.
