The Unite States Weather Bureau advised the small crafts of Leeward and Windward to remain in the port until the hurricane passed. Hurricane watching and gale warnings were also issued. People were advised to stay in their houses and collect grocery for themselves.
Hurricane Floyd was a very powerful Cape Verde hurricane which struck the east coast of the United States. It was the sixth named storm, fourth hurricane, and third major hurricane in the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season. Floyd triggered the fourth largest evacuation in US history (behind Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Gustav, and Hurricane Rita) when 2.6 million coastal residents of five states were ordered from their homes as it approached. The hurricane formed off the coast of Africa and lasted from September 7 to September 19, peaking in strength as a very strong Category 4 hurricane—just 2 mph short of the highest possible rating on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale. It was among the largest Atlantic hurricanes of its strength ever recorded.

Floyd was once forecast to strike Florida, but turned away. Instead, Floyd struck The Bahamas at peak strength, causing heavy damage. It then paralleled the East Coast of the United States, causing massive evacuations and costly preparations from Florida through the Mid-Atlantic states. The storm weakened significantly, however, before striking the Cape Fear region, North Carolina as a very strong Category 2 hurricane, and caused further damage as it traveled up the Mid-Atlantic region and into New England.
The hurricane produced torrential rainfall in Eastern North Carolina, adding more rain to an area already hit by Hurricane Dennis just weeks earlier. The rains caused widespread flooding over a period of several weeks; nearly every river basin in the eastern part of the state exceeded 500-year flood levels. In total, Floyd was responsible for 57 fatalities and $6.5 billion (1999 USD) in damage. Due to the destruction, the World Meteorological Organization retiredthe name Floyd.
The three gases that are part of Earth’s cycles in both the atmosphere and biosphere are:
- oxygen
- - nitrogen
- - carbon dioxide
<h3>Explain your answer?</h3>
The oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide are the three gasses that are constantly moving through the atmosphere and biosphere in their own respective cycles.
The oxygen is used by the animals for breathing, but it is also released as a byproduct by the producers. The nitrogen is used as a food source for the producers, as well as the carbon dioxide which is crucial for the process of photosynthesis.
Thus, Part of them is released through decomposition, part by releasing them in the atmosphere or in the soil.

Ova or egg cells are the gametes produced by ovaries in the female reproductive system. So ovaries is the first one in the line. From the ovaries, egg cells move to fallopian tubes where fertilization takes place. After this, the zygote moves to uterus for implantation.
So correct answer is Option 1- <u>ovary, fallopian tube, uterus</u>.
