1. Figure 6 shows the different parts of a typhoon and how it is form. Location A is
within the eye of a typhoon. B, C and D are locations that are more distant from the
eye. The air pressures (the force of air against a unit of area) at the different locations
are:
Air pressure in
millibars (mb)
Locations
A
950
960
970
D
980
a. Which among the four locations has the lowest air pressure?
b. Which among the four locations has the highest air pressure?
How much does a cloud weigh? Usgs.gov says that the average cumulus cloud (the big fluffy white ones) weighs 500,000 kilograms. Convert that number to pounds. Then put that value into a perspective you can visualize, such as comparing it to other objects you are familiar with. Show all your math. Do not just look up the value.
