Effects of typhoon

1. Strong winds:

This is one of the most devastating and

the most consistent negative effect of a
typhoon. Strong winds can easily cause
buildings to collapse, as well as
destroying roads and infrastructure.
Strong winds could also damage
agriculture by blowing away seeds and
plants, making the crops unable to grow.
2. Salty Water:

Since typhoons occurs on ocean bodies

and have very strong winds. Typhoons often
bring salty sea water that can harm the crops of
the farmlands. This can also cause leakage of
electricity as salt water is really conductive.

3. Waves:

Strong waves will be created by a typhoon

when it strikes. The waves could cause
shipwrecks, and even damage land because
the waves could reach as high as 20 meters.
This could also cause shoreline erosion
because the waves would wash away the
nutrients in the soil.

4. Torrential rain:

Large amounts of precipitation will follow

with the typhoon. This could cause flooding
, the damaging of crops, and many more.
5. Flood:

This effect is caused by the torrential rainfall,

which occurs as a direct result of the typhoon
itself. As mentioned earlier, flooding will ruin
crop fields, collapse small buildings, and can even
take lives.

6. Landslide:

Landslides are caused by the precipitation that is

present when a typhoon hits an area. Landslides
occur when large amounts of water has settled on
mountain tops. The intense pressure of the water
pressing down, causes soil and rock to slide off from
where they were.

7. Pests and Epidemic diseases:

Diseases and pests are often found after

floods and further damage crops. This is
another very devastating effect that threatens
the lives of the people in typhoon damaged
areas. Diseases like cholera run rampant
because of the perfect conditions of spreading
diseases. People especially in poorer areas can
not rid the disease because of the lack of
medical support. Furthermore, the amount of
money that has to be put into buying a cure
can end up causing hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
