Answer)
A rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain is known as a hurricane. Hence, second option is correct.
A tropical cyclone that occurs in Atlantic ocean and north east pacific Ocean is known as hurricane.

Exercise 5 Atmospheric Moisture and Adiabatics Each question worth 1 point unless otherwise noted, for a possible total of 44 points. Introduction The abundance of water in the Earth-atmosphere system is what makes Earth unique among the planets of our solar system. Moreover, water itself is a unique and dynamic substance. It can exist as a solid, liquid, and a gas at temperatures normally found on our planet. Water vapor (water in the gaseous state) is odorless, invisible, and tasteless,...

Transpiration is the process where O liquid enters the food chain. O liquid water turns into vapor. plants release water vapor. 1. A...
