Are they any letters of the alphabet not used for hurricane names?
The Hurricane Center does not use letters Q, U , X, Y and Z due to the fact that there are not enough name options for those letters.
Has there ever been a hurricane named Elizabeth?
I do not believe so. The name list is repeated every 6 years and the names on those six lists are just used over and over again unless the hurricane causes a significant impact on human lives. The name in that case is then retired. Elizabeth is not on any of the six repeating lists, nor is it on the list of retired hurricane names. There was a Hurricane Betsy in 1956 and 1965 as well as a Hurricane Beth in 1971
Is it true that a hurricane name is never used more than once?
Normally a hurricane name is used to name a new storm every six years. For example, the first Atlantic tropical storms of 1981, 1987, 1993, 1999, 2005, and 2011 were all named Arlene. If a storm named is retired it will not be used again on the next six year cycle. For example, the 11th Atlantic tropical storms of 1981, 1999, and 2005 were all named Katrina (there was no 11th storm in 1987 or 1993). However, because the Hurricane Katrina that happened in 2005 was so devastating its name was not used to name any storms in 2011. Instead, the 11th Atlantic tropical storm of 2011 was named Katia.
Are there different types of hurricanes?
The categories of hurricanes are based on the maximum sustained wind speeds. They are: Category 1: 74-95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-130 mph (beginning of a major hurricane) Category 4: 131-155 mph Category 5: 156+ mph
Why do some elements have names and symbol that do not match their English names?
Because there are languages other than English, and elements have different names in those languages. Some of the symbols are taken from those languages instead. Latin is probably the most common; it's responsible for Fe, Na, K, Cu, Ag, Au, Sn, Sb, and Pb (at least... there may be a few others I missed). Tungsten is called Wolfram in some countries, and its symbol W comes from that name.
What are the average Co2 levels during a hurricane?
