Climate change can worsen the intensity of tropical storms (such as hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones) in several ways, including by making record rainfall more likely and by causing sea levels to rise, which can raise the risk of storm surges.
The answer is B, silk. I think I'm correct
Answer:
Based on the meteorologist's estimates, the probability of a future tropical storm to originate in the Pacific Ocean and be classified as major is c. 0.17
Explanation:
The total percentage of future tropical storm is 80% which is the sum of tropical storms in the eastern Pacific Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. However, the problem asks for the total probability of being a major storm. In the eastern Pacific Ocean, it would be <u>0.045 which is 15% of 30</u> (total tropical storms in the eastern Pacific Ocean). In the western Pacific Ocean, it would be <u>0.125 which is 25% of 50</u> (total tropical storms in the western Pacific Ocean). The sum of both probabilities = 0.17, which is answer c.
