COS 13-3 3. Lines of longitude and latitude are drawn in Figure 1 at 5° intervals. At 28°N, one degree of longitude extends over an east-west distance of about 98 km (61 mi.). According to Figure 1, the width of Harvey's hurricane force wind swath at 28°N was approximately km. a. 100 b. 200 c. 300 Among the conditions that form hurricanes are broad expanses of ocean with surface temperatures of at least 26.5°C (about 80°F). Figure 2 displays surface ocean temperatures on 23 and 30 August 2017, near Harvey's landfall. The western Gulf of Mexico sea-surface temperatures range from dark red for 32°C to dark blue at 26°C, with the detailed legend below the loft of the man On the right, the temperatures on 30 August use the same scale, with
