Which effect is most likely? a) The typhoon will weaken b) The typhoon will spin faster c) The typhoon will change color d) The typhoon will gain strength 8) Why is the Philippines more prone to typhoons than most countries? a) It has many mountains b) It is far from large bodies of water c) It has more rivers than other countries d) It is near the equator and surrounded by warm oceans in the Pacific typhoon belt 9) Imagine a typhoon forming over the Pacific Ocean. Which sequence correctly shows its development? a) Cold water → Air rises → Clouds → Typhoon forms b) Cold water → Air sinks → Clouds → Typhoon forms c) Warm water → Air rises → Clouds → Typhoon forms d) Warm water → Air sinks → Clouds → Typhoon forms 10) If scientists want to predict typhoon formation, which factor would they monitor first? a) Mountain height b) Street traffic in cities c) Human population density d) Ocean temperature and wind patterns
