<u>Continent-</u>any of the world's main continuous expanses of land

<u>Continental Shelf-</u>the area of seabed around a large landmass where the sea is relatively shallow compared with the open ocean. The continental shelf is geologically part of the continental crust

<u>continent slope-</u>the slope between the outer edge of the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor

<u>seamount-</u>a submarine mountain

<u>trench-</u>a long, narrow, deep depression in the ocean floor, typically one running parallel to a plate boundary and marking a subduction zone

<u>midocean ridge-</u>a long, seismically active submarine ridge system situated in the middle of an ocean basin and marking the site of the upwelling of magma associated with seafloor spreading

<u>subduction zone-</u>A subduction zone is the biggest crash scene on Earth. These boundaries mark the collision between two of the planet's tectonic plates. The plates are pieces of crust that slowly move across the planet's surface over millions of years

<u>abyssal plain-</u>An abyssal plain is an underwater plain on the deep ocean floor, usually found at depths between 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) and 6,000 meters (20,000 ft). Lying generally between the foot of a continental rise and a mid-ocean ridge, abyssal plains cover more than 50% of the Earth's surface

<u>oceanic crust-</u>the relatively thin part of the earth's crust which underlies the ocean basins. It is geologically young compared with the continental crust and consists of basaltic rock overlain by sediments

<u>submarine canyon-</u>A submarine canyon is a steep-sided valley cut into the seabed of the continental slope, sometimes extending well onto the continental shelf, having nearly vertical walls, and occasionally having canyon wall heights of up to 5 km

The area of the track forecast cone is drawn so that the actual position of the storm will be within the cone approximately:
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Hi

The findings of the National Hurricane Center on the trajectory of a tropical cyclone are subject to a certain margin of error. Such a fluctuation in the prediction of the trajectory of a cyclone is known as a cone, due to the shape of the region where the center of the hurricane could pass has that shape. To form the cone, a series of imaginary circles are placed along the predicted path of the hurricane, in the following time positions: 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours. In this way, the size of each circle contains 67% of the margin of error of the official protocols of the last five years. Therefore, the cone is then formed by the union of the set of circles that represent the predicted trend of the passage of any hurricane.
