Question

What are the similarities between a wind driven wave and a tsunami wave? Mark all of the correct choices for full credit.

When they hit the seashore, they can both be 10 meters high or more.

What are common features of rainbands in tropical cyclones?

strong winds, heavy rains, and updrafts (raising air)

Why do tropical cyclones begin to die (e.g., wind speeds decrease and central eye disappears) when they make land-fall?

Air pressures are larger over land than over the ocean, and the pressure in the eye increases too much.

The severity of a tsunami warning issued to a coastal communities (i.e., how much precaution the community should exercise) is primarily based on

A. When they hit the seashore, the time between successive waves hitting the shore is similar. B. In the open ocean they can both be as 10 meters high or more. C. In the open ocean, the distance between successive waves (i.e., wavelength) is similar. D. They are both caused by the same phenomena. E. The wavelength of both types of waves decreases as they approach the sea shore. F.

When they hit the seashore, they can both be 10 meters high or more.

What are common features of rainbands in tropical cyclones?

A. strong winds, heavy rains, and downdrafts (falling air) B. strong winds, light rains, and updrafts (raising air) C. light winds, heavy rains, and updrafts (raising air) D.

strong winds, heavy rains, and updrafts (raising air)

Why do tropical cyclones begin to die (e.g., wind speeds decrease and central eye disappears) when they make land-fall?

A. Once the storm is over solid ground, it is no longer collecting enough energy to drive it. B. Wind shear is larger over land than over the open ocean, and the storm is blown apart. C. The friction of the wind blowing over solid ground provides too much resistance to for the hurricane to survive. D.

Air pressures are larger over land than over the ocean, and the pressure in the eye increases too much.

The severity of a tsunami warning issued to a coastal communities (i.e., how much precaution the community should exercise) is primarily based on

A. forecasts of how high the tsnami run-up will be in that coastal area. B. forecasts of where the tsnami wave will travel. C. how high the run-up was in the region immediately surrounding the start of the tsunami. D. how big the earthquake was that caused the tsuanmi was.
