Perhaps the only positive effect of hurricanes is that they are heat dumps. They develop when the energy of condensation piles up on top of already warm tropical waters. Were this mechanical process not to exist, global warming and climate change would unarguably become an issue that no one could ever debate.
The loss of land from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita alone was estimated to be about 73 square miles. By changing environmental conditions in coastal habitats, hurricanes cause a cascade of direct and indirect ecological responses that range from immediate to long-term. In terms of environmental effects, no two hurricanes are alike. Individual characteristics, such as the stormâs forward speed, size, intensity, and amount of precipitation, play a large role in the type and temporal extent of a hurricaneâs impact.
