Question

1. Storms

What is the difference between mid-latitude and tropics cyclones? Why do cyclones rotate counter-clock wise in the northern hemisphere but clock-wise in the southern hemisphere as shown in the chart below? Unlike hurricanes, why is it difficult to predict the time when a tornado occurs? Explain why the Midwest U.S is considered as a ‘tornado alley?’ Why are the months of May and June the peaks times for tornado occurrence? must be 350 words long

Answer 1

SOLUTION:-

Question:1

** The difference between tropical cyclone and temperate cyclone:-

1. Tropical cyclone is located between 10° to 30°N/S .

But temperate cyclone is located between 30° to 60° N/S.

2.Tropical cyclone is formed only on sea with 25°to27°c.

But, temperate cyclone is formed in both land and sea.

3. In tropical cyclone front is totally absent.

But, in temperate cyclone , front is present.

4. In tropical cyclone, rainfall is very strong but it stay for few hours.

But in temperate cyclone, rainfall is low and stay for several weeks.

5. In tropical cyclone, isobar is in circular shape.

But in temperate cyclone, isobars are in V shape.

6. Lifetime of tropical cyclone is not more than one week.

But lifetime of temperate cyclone is 1to 3 week.

7 . The wind velocity of tropical cyclone is 100 to 200 km/h Averagely.

But, the wind velocity of temperate cyclone is 35 to 150 km/h.

8. The center of the tropical cyclone is warm. That's why it is warm core.

But in temperate cyclone, the core is colder than the surrounding areas.
