Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • A hurricane is a tropical storm that is formed in the Atlantic ocean and is usually between June to November months, winds are at least 39 mph i.e mega per hour. In recent times these tropical storms have caused significant damage to the property and earth surface and thus have been certain names related to the place where they occur or form. Like Harvey, Maria, and Irma, etc.
  • Their intensity ranges from <u>1 to 10 having high-pressure zones</u> in between the winds the most intense storm occurred was 190 mph wind speed i.e 305 kilometers per hour. Owning to intensity these storms are classified into various categories from category 1 to 5. Like hurricane Katrina.
  • Most of them intensify over the lower pressure areas, seasonal variation as in June the rise of the convection currents from the sea take place and the air above becomes unstable.
  • So this rise in moisture over te large bodies of water is due to the impacts from the Coriolis force the energy derived from the equatorial heat as latent heat and hence all this is a natural process.

The altitude of Polaris (the North Star) is always within about
2/3 of a degree of the latitude of the place where you're standing
when you see it.

Look up the latitude of each place on your list.  That angle will be
the altitude of Polaris as seen from that place.

Adelaide, Australia, being in the southern hemisphere, can't see
