Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A tropical cyclone is a great mass of warm, humid rotating air and a hurricane is a large tropical cyclone located in the North Atlantic and eastern Pacific. A hurricane is defined as a tropical cyclone that has winds of 119 km/hour or greater (74 mph). Hurricanes start as tropical depressions over warm water near the equator. The warm winds increase evaporation and the humid air rises high into the atmosphere. Coriolis Effect and pressure gradients begin to rotate the moisture. The rising air eventually cools and condenses forming thunderstorms, which releases some of the energy. As long as the storm remains over the warm ocean, it continues to draw moisture through evaporation adding to the strength of the hurricane.
