How do convection currents contribute to the development of hurricanes?(1 point)
Responses

They cause air to move from low-pressure to high-pressure areas, which reduces cloud formation.
They cause air to move from low-pressure to high-pressure areas, which reduces cloud formation.

They prevent air from moving, thus stabilizing atmospheric conditions and preventing storms.

They create wind patterns that spread out storm energy and reduce thunderstorm formation.
They create wind patterns that spread out storm energy and reduce thunderstorm formation.

They cause air to move from high-pressure to low-pressure areas, leading to rising air that cools and produces clouds and thunderstorms.

Here are the matches for each vocabulary word with its correct definition:

1. **Saffir-Simpson Scale**: A rating scale for hurricanes that uses wind speed to predict what the severity of a hurricane will be when it makes landfall.

2. **Global Positioning System (GPS)**: A navigation system that uses signals from multiple Earth-orbiting satellites to calculate precise locations on Earth by measuring the distance between the receiver and the satellites.

3. **Satellite**: Artificial bodies placed in orbit around Earth for collecting data or for communication.

4. **Doppler Radar**: A special form of radar that uses echoes from radio waves to track air movement inside a storm.

The primary cause of hurricanes is **warm ocean water**. Warm water serves as the energy source for hurricanes, providing the heat and moisture necessary for their formation and intensification.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response is:

**They cause air to move from high-pressure to low-pressure areas, leading to rising air that cools and produces clouds and thunderstorms.**

This process is crucial for the development of hurricanes, as the rising air leads to the formation of clouds and thunderstorms that can intensify into a hurricane.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The primary reason for conducting controlled burns in forests is:

**To reduce wildfire risk by eliminating excess fuel sources such as underbrush.**

Controlled burns help manage forest ecosystems and reduce the amount of flammable material, thereby decreasing the likelihood of more severe wildfires.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The option that is NOT a strategy for mitigating the effects of a wildfire is:

**Excessively watering your lawn and vegetation.**

While maintaining healthy vegetation can be beneficial, excessively watering is not a recognized strategy for wildfire mitigation. The other options directly contribute to reducing wildfire risk.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
**False.**

The eye of a hurricane is typically characterized by calmer winds and clear skies compared to the surrounding areas. The most dangerous part of a hurricane is actually the eyewall, where the strongest winds and most severe weather occur.
