Answer:

1.  there needs to be warm ocean water and moist, humid air in the region. When humid air is flowing upward at a zone of low pressure over warm ocean water, the water is released from the air as creating the clouds of the storm. As it rises, the air in a hurricane rotates.

2. Hurricanes are classified using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale — a 1 to 5 rating that's based on maximum sustained wind speed, according to the National Hurricane Center.

3. When a hurricane strikes a coastal area, it brings a number of serious hazards. These hazards include heavy rains, high winds, a storm surge, and even tornadoes. Storm surge pushes seawater on shore during a hurricane, flooding towns near the coast. Heavy rains cause flooding in inland places as well.

Osmosis occurs when there is a different concentration of solute molecules on each side of the membrane. The drawing below shows
zzz [600]
The statement that describes the cell after twenty minutes is this: WATER WILL MOVE FROM THE CELL INTO THE BEAKER RESULTING IN A SMALLER CELL.
Osmosis is defined as the process by which the molecules of a solvent move through a semi permeable membrane from the region of lower concentration to the region of higher concentration. For the question given above, the concentration of 30% salt is greater than that of 10% in the cell, so the water molecules will move from the cell [region of lower concentration] into the salt solution [region of higher concentration]. The loss of water will make the cell to shrink and to become smaller.
