The "dirty side" of a hurricane, explained

What does the "cone of uncertainty" in hurricane forecasts represent? ("Hình nón bất định" trong dự báo bão biểu thị điều gì?)

• The area where the hurricane's strongest winds will occur.

• The range of potential paths the center of a tropical storm could take.

• The maximum extent of rainfall and flooding.

• The region where storm surge is guaranteed.

Which part of a hurricane is characterized by the strongest winds and highest concentrations of moisture? (Phần nào của cơn bão có đặc điểm là có gió mạnh nhất và độ ẩm cao nhất?)

• The eye

• The rain bands

• The eyewall

• The outer edge

Why is the "dirty side" of a hurricane considered the most dangerous? (Tại sao "mặt bẩn" của cơn bão lại được coi là nguy hiểm nhất?)

• It is the side with the calmest winds, leading to complacency.

• The winds on this side move in the opposite direction of the storm, slowing it down.

• It experiences the greatest winds, tornado risk, storm surge, and flooding due to winds combining with storm motion.

• It is the side that always faces away from land, causing less damage.

What is the primary cause of storm surge, and how can hurricanes also lead to significant inland flooding? (Nguyên nhân chính gây ra bão dâng là gì và bão có thể gây ra lũ lụt đáng kể ở vùng đất liền như thế nào?)

• Storm surge is caused by heavy rainfall, and inland flooding is due to overflowing rivers.

• Storm surge results from forward-moving winds pushing seawater ashore, while inland flooding can occur when these winds push warm moisture up mountains, causing orographic lifting.

• Storm surge is caused by the low pressure in the eye, and inland flooding is due to tsunamis.

• Storm surge is caused by the Coriolis effect, and inland flooding is a result of melting glaciers.
