Understanding Weather Disturbances

The document contains a series of questions related to types of weather disturbances, focusing on phenomena such as typhoons, monsoons, and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). It explores the reasons behind the weakening of typhoons over land, the impact of monsoons on agriculture, and the effects of shifts in the ITCZ on weather patterns in Southeast Asia. Additionally, it addresses the characteristics of tropical cyclones and their formation conditions.

Types of weather disturbance

1. Which of the following best explains why typhoons weaken as they move over land?

A. The land provides more heat energy.

B. There is less water vapor available to fuel the system.

C. The winds over land are stronger than those over the ocean.

D. The land cools the typhoon by absorbing its heat.

2. A fisherman notices that strong winds and heavy rain frequently occur in their area from June to
November. Which weather disturbance is most likely responsible for this?

A. Tornado

B. Monsoon

C. Typhoon

D. ITCZ

3. If the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) shifts northward, which of the following is most likely to
happen in Southeast Asia?

A. Increased rainfall and possible flooding

B. Prolonged drought conditions

C. Strong tornadoes forming over land

D. Decrease in atmospheric humidity

4. Why do monsoons play an important role in agriculture?

A. They bring strong winds that help pollinate crops.

B. They provide seasonal rainfall necessary for farming.

C. They create cooler temperatures that protect plants.

D. They prevent typhoons from reaching inland farms.

5. What would likely happen if the warm air from the ITCZ stopped rising?
A. Typhoons would form more frequently.

B. The global climate would become cooler.

C. There would be less rainfall in tropical regions.

D. Tornadoes would become more common.

6.A weather report states that a tropical storm is approaching and is expected to reach typhoon
strength. What should residents in the area do?

A. Continue daily activities as usual.

B. Start securing properties and prepare emergency kits.

C. Evacuate immediately to higher ground.

D. Expect no major impact since it's still a storm.

7.If the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) is stronger than usual, what would likely be its effect on the
Philippines?

A. Increased frequency of typhoons

B. Cooler temperatures with heavier rainfall

C. More tornadoes forming inland

D. Prolonged hot and dry weather

8.Why do tropical cyclones rarely form near the equator?

A. The Coriolis effect is too weak to create rotation.

B. The temperature is too high for cyclone formation.

C. There is not enough moisture to sustain storms.

D. Wind speeds are too low to develop circulation.

9Which of the following best explains why tropical cyclones spin counterclockwise in the Northern
Hemisphere?

A. The Earth's rotation influences wind direction.

B. The temperature difference between ocean and land.

C. The stronger presence of trade winds in the north.

10.How do tropical depressions differ from tropical storms in terms of their wind speed?

A.Tropical depressions have lower wind speeds than tropical storms.

B) Tropical depressions have higher wind speeds than tropical storms.

C) Tropical depressions and tropical storms have similar wind speeds.

D) Tropical depressions are not related to tropical storms.
