Which best describes how changes in air pressure can affect the development of a hurricane?

• Cooling ocean water causes air pressure to drop. This causes high winds and rain to develop, which may become a hurricane.

• Cooling ocean water causes air pressure to rise. This causes light winds and snow to develop, which may become a hurricane.

• Warming ocean water causes air pressure to rise. This causes light winds and sleet to develop, which may become a hurricane.

• Warming ocean water causes air pressure to drop. This causes high winds and thunderstorms to develop, which may become a hurricane.
