https://scijinks.gov/hurricane-simulation/
1) What happens to the low pressure cell (designated "L") when it enters regions of warmer water temperature? 2) Is the hurricane attracted or repelled by the high pressure zone (designated "H")? 3) How is hurricane strength affected by prolonged time over large land masses? 4) Which season has the highest probability for powerful hurricanes in the Caribbean? 5) If you position the Low Pressure System "L" over Hudson Bay, Canada it travels east with the prevailing winds but never becomes a hurricane in any of the four seasons ... why?
Explanation / Answer
Answer1: when low-pressure zone come in warmer water contact the air above warmer water gets warm and starts to rise as result the low-pressure zone becomes more strengthen.
answer 2: a hurricane is a feature of the low-pressure zone so obviously when it gets in contact with high pressure it weakens.
answer3: well water vapours, warm water is the fuel of hurricane therefore when it comes in contact with continents it strength decreases because a supply of moisture and warm temperature is cutoff.
answer 4: June, July and August or maybe September since ocean water is hot this time since there is summer in the Northern hemisphere.
answer5: may be ocean water was cool enough to not let the air to become so warm that it gain a hurricane status.
