Question
Chapter 11, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The region in the globe where the highest incidence of strong tropical storms occurs. Also, determine the time at which they most likely occur.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The highest incidence of tropical storms occur over the tropical and subtropical oceans. They most likely occurred during the time of strong winds and heavy rains.
Explanation of Solution
Hurricanes can be defined as the rapidly rotating storm systems that formover tropical or subtropical oceans. They are characterized by low-pressure centers, strong winds, and intense convective thunderstorms that lead to the formation of heavy rains. Hurricanes can generate destructive storm surges and tornadoesin addition to strong winds and heavy rains.
