If surface winds are blowing eastward at  km/hr and winds in the upper
  troposphere are blowing westward at  km/hr, will there be enough
  vertical wind shear to prevent a tropical cyclone from forming? What will be an ideal response?



Question 2

If the Coriolis eff ect is strongest near the poles, why dont tropical cyclones
  form in these areas? What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Yes. The total wind shear is 15 km/hr + 30 km/hr, or 45 km/hr. This is higher than the
threshold for preventing the formation of tropical cyclones.



Answer to Question 2

There is usually not suffi cient heat energy to sustain a tropical cyclone in these areas.
