Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The most danger during a tropical cyclone event is the storm surge. The mass of water driven by the
storm surge can cause large flooding. Information can be found in the section Storms Are Variations in
Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Sailors called the calm equatorial areas the doldrums. Scientists have come to call this area the
intertropical convergence zone to show the convergence of the two Hadley cells. Information can be
found in the section Atmospheric Circulation Generates Large-Scale Surface Wind Patterns
