<h2>Answer: Wind speed </h2>

The Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale is based on a table that classifies tropical cyclones into five levels according to wind speed and intensity, taking into account the possible damage to buildings to determine this intensity.

This scale was developed in 1969 by the civil engineer Herbert Saffir and Robert Simpson, who was the director of the National Center of Hurricanes of the United States at the moment.

However, this scale does not take into account the amount of precipitation (rain) or the location of the winds.

How is the circum-pacific belt represented on the map?
shtirl [24]

The correct answer is - With full, red line.

The circum-pacific belt is represented with a full red line. The line marks all of the belt uninterruptedly, starting from New Zealand, through the islands of Southeast Asia, along the coast of East Asia, bellow the Bering Strait, and along the western coasts of North and South America, ending at Patagonia.

This line, roughly represents the tectonic plate boundaries of the Pacific plate with the other plates with which it is in contact, or rather getting submerged bellow them. Because the plate boundaries are convergent, with the Pacific plate submerging bellow the others, there's intense geologic activity, manifested through earthquakes, volcanic activity, tsunamis.
