Hurricanes are predicted using a Saffir-Simpson Scale. This scale is used to measure the intensity of hurricane most often than not. However, it may be used to identify a hurricane as well. A hurricane is categorised based on the wind speeds.  

74 - 95 mph --> category 1 
96 -110 mph --> category 2 
111 - 129 mph --> category 3 
130 - 156 mph --> category 4 
157 mph + --> category 5 

Typically, the formation of a hurricane occurs when moist warm air if absorbed from the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and rises. The moisture will then evaporate further rising and heating until the moist air is twisted and circulation high in the atmosphere.

Which of the following scenarios best describes how the Hawaiian Islands formed in the Pacific Ocean? View Available Hint(s) Whi
pogonyaev

The correct answer is - Magma generated from a hot spot burned through the overlying plate to create volcanoes.

The Hawaiian Islands are all formed as a result of volcanic activity of a hot spot. The hot spot is stationary, but the islands are in the shape of a chain, not all in the same place. Also, the rocks on the islands that do not have active volcanoes are older, than the ones that do have volcanic activity. This suggests that the Pacific plate is moving. According the direction in which the islands are arranged, the Pacific plate seems to move toward northwest. As it moves, it moves over the hot spot. Since the hot spot is stationary, as the Pacific plate moves, eventually the volcanic activity will stop on the island that has moved further away from the hot spot. The magma from the hot spot will penetrate through the crust that came to be over it. That will result in new volcanic island emerging from the sea over the hot spot. The process goes on for millions of years, and it can result in hundreds of islands of volcanic origin.
