1) How do hurricanes form? a) a) Warm, dry ocean air rises and creates low air pressure. b) b) Cool, moist ocean air rises and creates high air pressure. c) c) Warm, moist ocean air rises and creates low air pressure. d) d) Cool, dry ocean air rises and creates high air pressure. 2) What occurs as a result of the circulating air having higher pressure than the low-pressure area in a hurricane? a) The warm air descends, creating calm conditions. b) The warm air stagnates, causing humidity to decrease. c) Warm and moist air rises, leaving behind a low-pressure area. d) The warm air dissipates, causing the hurricane to weaken. 3) What happens as warm, moist ocean air rises in the formation of a hurricane? a) It creates an area of high air pressure. b) It creates an area of low air pressure. c) It remains stagnant over the ocean surface. d) It condenses into clouds and falls as rain. 4) How does warm ocean water contribute to the intensification of hurricanes? a) By cooling down the surrounding air. b) By creating areas of high pressure. c) By supplying energy to the storm system. d) By causing the storm to move in a different direction. 5) Which of the following best describes the cycle of a hurricane's formation? a) Warm air descends, creating low pressure, and moisture evaporates. b) Warm, moist air rises, leaving behind low pressure, and warm ocean water fuels the storm. c) Cool air descends, creating high pressure, and ocean water cools down. d) Warm air rises, creating high pressure, and low humidity conditions persist.
