Answer:
5. C. Typhoon
All Western Pacific agencies classify tropical cyclones as Typhoons once
it reaches 65 KT or 118 KPH.
6. D. All of the above
7. D. Place of Origin
The only difference between a hurricane and a typhoon is the location
where the storm occurs.
8. A. Calm
The most recognizable feature found within a hurricane is the eye.
Skies are often clear above the eye and winds are relatively light. It is
actually the calmest section of any hurricane. The eye is so calm
because the now strong surface winds that converge towards the
center never reach it.
9. B. 26.5 °
Tropical cyclones form over warm water, and the water temperatures
need to be at least 26°C down to minimum a 50-metre depth - although
they may survive over colder waters once they have been formed.
10. D. Winds pushing waves on shore.
The storms produce strong winds that push the water into shore,
which can lead to flooding. A storm surge is primarily caused by the
relationship between the winds and the ocean's surface.
11. B. Eyewall
The strongest winds in a northern hemisphere tropical cyclone is located
in the eyewall and the right front quadrant of the tropical cyclone.
