Post by: Chanta35 on Mar 6, 2018 As surface air rushes in toward the eye of a hurricane, the air expands and should cool. The main reason the surface air is not cooler around the eye is because
a. the sinking air near the eye warms the air. b. friction with the water adds heat to the air. c. the warm water heats the air. d. sunlight heats the air. e. the spinning motion prevents air from rising or sinking. Q. 2 Hurricanes are least likely to form a. along the ITCZ. b. along the equator. c. with an easterly wave. d. when the trade wind inversion is weak. e. when the surface water temperature exceeds 25C. Q. 3 The main reason hurricanes don't develop over the South Atlantic Ocean adjacent to South America is because the a. Coriolis force is too small there. b. pressure gradient force is too weak in that area. c. surface water temperatures are too cold. d. air at the surface is always diverging. e. winds dont spin into the right direction. Q. 4 As a northward-moving hurricane passes to the east of an area, surface winds should change from a. NW to N to NE. b. W to SW to S. c. NE to N to NW. d. S to SW to W. e. SE to S to SW. Q. 5 At the periphery of a hurricane, the air ____, and several kilometers above the surface, in the eye, the air ____. a. sinks; sinks b. is stationary; rises c. rises; is stationary d. rises; rises e. sinks; rises Q. 6 Hurricane winds rotate in a clockwise direction a. in the Northern Hemisphere only. b. in the Southern Hemisphere only. c. in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. d. in neither hemisphere. e. depending on the season they occur in. Q. 7 The strongest winds in a hurricane are found a. at the center of the storm. b. in the eye wall. c. in the rain bands. d. at upper levels, above the center of the hurricane. e. near the periphery of the hurricane.
