Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The majority of cyclones are not hurricanes or tornadoes; however, hurricanes and tornadoes are cyclones. Cyclone refers to the circulation around a low-pressure center. Midlatitude cyclones have broad diameters1600 kilometers or morewhereas hurricanes average 600 kilometers across and tornadoes have a miniscule quarter kilometer diameter. Hurricanes and tornadoes are clearly much smaller, but they are also much more violent than midlatitude cyclones. Thunderstorms are related to all three of these events. First, they are frequently spawned along the cold front of a midlatitude cyclone. On rare occasions, a tornado may descend from the thunderstorm's cumulonimbus tower, and hurricanes also generate widespread thunderstorm activity.
