1.      Which sequence correctly represents the process of typhoon formation?

I- air rises and cools, causing clouds to develop

II- there is less air near the water surface, forming a low-pressure zone

III- warm ocean waters provide the necessary heat and moisture and gain energy

IV- air rushes in to fill the low-pressure, creating a spinning cycle as the air heats and rises

2. 2.Why is the Philippines prone to typhoons?

3.How does global warming affect the frequency and intensity of typhoons in the Philippines?

4.What happens to the intensity of a typhoon as it moves over warm bodies of water? How about if it passes over a mountain?

5.What is the primary factor responsible for the rotational movement of a tropical cyclone?

A.     The gravitational pull of the Moon i

B.     The revolution of the Earth around the Sun

C.     The Coriolis effect drives the rotational movement of tropical cyclones

6.     How does the Coriolis effect contribute to the formation and development of a typhoon?

A.     It causes the typhoon to intensify over land rather than over water

B.     The Coriolis effect prevents typhoons from developing by disrupting wind patterns

C.     It influences the rotation of the typhoon, contributing to its cyclonic motion and organization
