How does the see temperature affect hurricane formation?

1 answer:

8 0

The higher the sea surface temperature, the faster the warm, moist air rises into the atmosphere. This updraft creates a donut shaped vortex that is rising in the middle and going downward on the sides. The more moisture in the air (humidity), the stronger the vortex will become as the moisture rises through convective currents, cools, and falls through convective currents. This eventually causes rotation of the storm mass and you get a tropical cyclone. So, the high sea surface temperatures and humidity are actually the engine that forms a hurricane and causes it to increase in strength.

High level horizontal winds can prevent a hurricane from forming. These are called shear winds and they literally blow the top of the cyclone off, preventing it from forming properly.

If the value of the electric field in an electromagnetic wave were doubled then

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Electromagnetic wave are waves formed as a result of the oscillatory activities involving the electric and the magnetic field.

However in an Electromagnetic wave, the electric field and magnetic field carry equal amounts of energy and the magnitude of the electric field is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field. This direct proportionality gives rise to the speed of light being the constant between the two fields.

When the electric field is doubled then an equal action is to be set for the magnetic field so it doesn’t deviate from its main functions and characteristics.

A train travels 120 km at a speed of 60 km/h, makes a stop for 0.5 h, and then travels the next 180 km at a speed of 90 km/h. Wh

Levart [38]

Answer:

average speed = 66.67 km/h

Explanation:

In order to find the average speed of the train, you need to calculate the total distance traveled, divided by the time it took to cover that distance. So for the total distance:

Distance= 120 km + 180 km = 300 km

For the total time we need to add three different quantities, two of which we need to derived based on the information provided:

time for first part of the trip:

$time_1=\frac{D_1}{v_1} =\frac{120}{60} \,h= 2\,h$
