Question

Which of the following describe a condition or location for the right environment for tropical cyclone formation over the north eastern tropical Pacific Ocean?
A. light surface winds
B. a La Nina event
C. stable air
D. a deep layer of humid air
E. converging surface winds
F. ocean surface temperature greater than 80 °F

Answer 1

Answer:

E. converging surface winds

Explanation:

For the formation of tropical cyclones to occur in the northeast of the tropical Pacific Ocean, it is necessary to have converging surface winds that present a strong convection. This allows for the formation of vertical movements of an ascending nature that have great strength and are intense and violent. This also allows closed cyclonic circulation to occur at the lower levels which together with a low frontal pressure system over the waters of the Pacific Ocean can form the tropical cyclone.
