These cyclones are large red, or brown such as the Great red spot of Jupiter. Hence, Jupiter has the most powerful type of storms being accompanied by the convection in the atmosphere as the striking of lightning from the clouds in 10 times more stronger than on earth.

Jupiter also consists of upper clouds, located in the low-pressure range are made of ammonia ice. Auroras are a permanent feature of the Jupiter's atmosphere based on the exiting models temperature predictions of the atmosphere are no higher than 400k.

Strong jets have been observed at the equator of the by the deep models. Temperature and winds are found to rise from the equator to the poles, thus confined within zones. As a comparison to the anticyclones, the jovian cyclones tend to be small dark and irregular.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Kilauea

Explanation:

Kilauea is a typical shield volcano and Mt. St. Helens is a great example of a stratovolcano. Although both are currently active, the types of eruptions that we could expect from each mountain are quite different. Kilauea, while more active, features slow moving basaltic flows that even a person on foot could escape. The eruptions tend to be gentle and do not usually cause a great deal of damage. Mt. St. Helens, on the other hand, is much more dangerous because of it's violent eruptions accompanied by large amounts of ash, violent lava and mudflows and flying debris. As a stratovolcano it is less active but for more powerful and unpredictable.
