Interpretation :
The hurricanes and their causes needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
Hurricane is a sudden storm which generally takes place during hot summer.
Answer to Problem 1TAI
Hurricanes are powerful storms. Sudden temperature and pressure differences in atmosphere cause hurricanes.
Explanation of Solution
The sunlight heats the atmosphere differently due to difference in falling angle.
Temperature of some zone may be increased with respect to surrounding zone.
When the temperature of a region is increased then the air become hot which is lighter than cold air. This hot air goes up and a vacancy in the air is created. Low pressure of air is created immediately. Now as none of the place of the atmosphere can be left unoccupied, cold air from surrounding rushes to the region of evacuation. This sudden flow of cold air to occupy the evacuated region is seen as a storm which is known as hurricane.
