Benny NW NE SW SE Rotational winds 130 mph Track: Northwestward at 30 mphExplanation / Answer
1) 160mph
the speed of hurricane in the north west direction is 30mph, so in that direction velocity get added,so 130+30=160mph .
2)NW
the direction of the hurricane is in the north west direction, so when the rotational direction of hurricane came in the same direction its velocity reach at its maximum that is 160mph, strongest.
3)The lowest pressure will be roughly the same in all quadrants
pressure distribution wil be nearly same.
4)NW quadrant
the velocity of hurricane is maximum in this quadrant.
