What we have learned & Challenges we faced
We found that monsoon, typhoon, and tropical cyclone are slightly different to each other. To sum it all up, we can see that an exact difference of a tornado. However, it is easy to confuse between monsoon and tropical cyclone. Here is the table with how they are different to each other.
Then, we found that tropical cyclone, typhoon, and hurricane are the same but named differently depending on the area they are formed.
Through the team project on the main idea of "difference between weather disturbances", we first divided groups into four small groups to research about five disturbances: monsoon, tornado, hurricane, typhoon, and cyclone. After researching them in terms of definition, characteristics, how they are formed, occurrence, etc., we analyzed on what similarities and differences they share. In this process, we faced a big enlightenment. We believed that five selected disturbances are different to each other. However, we found that hurricane, typhoon, and tropical cyclone (one of the types of cyclones) are all the same but only named differently depending on what regions they are formed. Therefore, we faced a challenge on how we rearrange our website. Through several meetings, we ended up combining the section of hurricane, typhoon, and tropical cyclone in one section. Therefore, we have three big pages and several small parts in them.
Through researching, analyzing, and solving problems, we learned not only about weather disturbances but also the teamwork. By having weekly meetings either on zoom or in-person, we developed responsibility to participate in the team project. Also, each individual communicated as much as possible, so this helped us reaped the most in the process of researching and analyzing, and we were able to solve the problem in a short period.
