After hurricane Irma, and partially trigger by news distributed by social media during that period, people in Ecuador (particula

rly in coastal places) have started to worry that changes in climate will translate into having tropical cyclones of similar magnitude hitting their country. After all, unusual patterns of rainfall, increase temperature that is melting glaciers in the Andes, etc., are relatively new climate-related events easily perceivable by people. As a climate expert, please explain to Ecuadorians briefly: 1)how tropical cyclones are formed and where they occur globally mentioning key factors for their formation and for them to gain strength; 2) using the previous information, discuss whether or not they have reason to worry about a tropical cyclone of high magnitude hitting Ecuador as a result of changes in climate.

Answer:

1. Cyclones are one of nature’s responses in which winds move in a circular motion when hot and cold air currents meet under low atmospheric pressure.

Tropical cyclone formation takes place when sea-surface temperature rises and meet with vertical wind shear and high relative humidity leads to a winds swirl around the area of low atmospheric pressure.

2. Yes, people have reason to worry about a tropical cyclone of high magnitude hitting Ecuador as a result of changes in climate because due to climate change, sea-surface temperature is rising continuously which can lead to cyclone of high magnitude and come with more disaster.

5. Only about 10 percent of the energy in an organism is passed on to the next level of a food chain. Look at this food chain: g
bixtya [17]

In any food chain, the percentage of energy passed from one level to another usually reduced by a factor of 10%.

In the food chain given in the question, we are told that the rabbit ate grass and the hawk ate the rabbit.

The grass carried out photosynthesis and obtained 100% energy from the sun. When the rabbit ate the grass, he obtained 10% of the energy from the grass, thus, the quantity of energy it gained from eating the grass is 10%, that is, 100/10  = 10%.

When the hawk ate the rabbit, it was only able to get 10% of the energy in the rabbit, thus, the quantity of the energy it gained is 1%, that is 10/10 = 1%.

Therefore, 1% of the energy stored by the grass is passed on to the hawk.
