  The Power of Typhoons (2)  
  颱風力量大 (2)  
     
  Typhoons only develop over very warm ocean water -- 26.5°C or warmer. Typhoons get their energy from the warm water. That energy becomes rain and strong winds.  
  Typhoons can travel long distances, and when they reach land, they get weak and die. They don't have their energy source -- warm water -- anymore, so they stop like a car without gas.  
  In this way, typhoons are a lot like us: they are born, they grow up, and then they die. They can be dangerous, too. Understanding them can help us prepare for the next typhoon that comes our way.  
     
  颱風只會在氣溫攝氏二十六點五度或以上的溫暖海域上形成。颱風從溫暖的海水中獲得能量,而這些能量會變成雨水和強風。  
     
  颱風可以行進很長的距離,在與陸地接觸後,颱風的威力便會減弱,然後消失殆盡。失去了能量來源(溫暖的水)的颱風,就好像一輛汽油用完的車子一樣停下來。  
     
  如此看來,颱風跟人類很相似,它們會經歷出生、成長然後死亡。它們也可以是危險的,所以了解颱風可以幫助我們為下一個直撲而來的颱風預先做好準備。
