Hurricanes, El Nino, and La Nina Quiz

How do hurricanes form?

• Hurricanes form over cold ocean waters

• Hurricanes form in the desert

• Hurricanes form due to high wind shear and low humidity

• Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters when the conditions are right, including low wind shear and high humidity.

What are the key ingredients for the formation of a hurricane?

• Warm ocean water, moist air, and converging winds

• Hot desert air, dry land, and strong winds

• Cold ocean water, dry air, and diverging winds

• Snow, dry air, and calm winds

What are the effects of El Nino on weather?

• El Nino has no effect on weather

• El Nino leads to a decrease in global temperatures

• El Nino can cause changes in temperature, precipitation, and storm patterns around the world.

• El Nino causes an increase in snowfall

How does El Nino impact ocean temperatures?

• Colder ocean temperatures

• Warmer ocean temperatures

• Increased precipitation in the ocean

• No impact on ocean temperatures

What are the effects of La Nina on weather?

• Increased rainfall and flooding

• Changes in weather patterns

• More frequent droughts

• No effect on weather

How does La Nina impact global weather patterns?

• La Nina impacts global weather patterns by causing changes in temperature and precipitation in various regions around the world.

• La Nina has no impact on global weather patterns

• La Nina causes a decrease in ocean temperatures

• La Nina leads to more stable weather conditions

What are some examples of extreme weather events caused by El Nino?

• Blizzards, snowstorms, and freezing temperatures

• Tornadoes, hurricanes, and thunderstorms

• Heavy rainfall, flooding, and drought

• Sunny weather, mild temperatures, and calm winds

How does La Nina affect hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean?

• Decreases hurricane activity

• Has no effect on hurricane activity

• Causes tornadoes instead of hurricanes

• Increases hurricane activity

What are the impacts of El Nino on precipitation patterns?

• El Nino can lead to decreased precipitation in some regions and increased precipitation in others.

• El Nino has no impact on precipitation patterns

• El Nino always leads to increased precipitation everywhere

• El Nino only affects temperature, not precipitation

How does La Nina influence the frequency of tropical cyclones?

• Has no effect

• Increases

• Decreases

• Causes snowstorms
