Question 3 of 5

1 pointsWhich of the following conditions are necessary for the emergence of a tropical cyclone?
1. Large and continuous supply of warm and moist air.
2. Strong Coriolis force
3. Strong vertical wind
4. Unstable condition through the Troposphere
Select the correct answer using the codes given belowCorrect
The conditions for the emergence of a tropical cyclone are:
(i) Large and continuous supply of warm and moist air that can release enormous latent heat.
(ii) Strong Coriolis force that can prevent filling of low pressure at the centre (absence of Coriolis force near the equator prohibits the formation of tropical cyclone between 0°-5° latitude).
(iii) Unstable condition through the troposphere that creates local disturbances around which a cyclone develops.
(iv) Absence of strong vertical wind wedge, which disturbs the vertical transport of latent heat.Incorrect
