1. What is the minimum ocean surface temperature that is required for a tropical cyclone to form? Draw a diagram to explain your answer. |
Study the graph on the right carefully. 2. What correlation does it appear to show between ocean surface temperatures and the intensity of tropical cyclones? Use data to support your answer. 3. Based on your knowledge of the formation of tropical storms, what is the reason for this correlation? 4. Based on what you can see from this data, why do you think that climate scientists predict that climate change is likely to lead to an increase in the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones? |
