In 2011, Typhoon Nesat struck the Philippines and cause widespread flooding. After hitting the Philippines typhoon Nesat what is predicted to hit the largest city of Hanoi, Vietnam. If typhoon Nesat had continued along the same path, which development would most likely have reduced its strength before it hit Hanoi?
A. The formation of low pressure area south of Bangkok
B. The formation of high-pressure area south of Bangkok ******
C.Cool water moving into the sea east of Hanoi
D. Warm water moving into the sea east of Hanoi
I got b because the winds of a hurricane get faster from low pressure so I think high pressure would make it weaker ??
Plz tell me if my answer (B) is correct.
The answer is C :)
I think B sounds the most correct :)
Thank you @7 dream kid
I turned it in and it was wrong does anyone know the answer ?
U should not believe students
it’s c
Yes, your answer (B) is correct. The formation of a high-pressure area south of Bangkok would most likely reduce the strength of Typhoon Nesat before it hit Hanoi, Vietnam.
To understand why this is the correct answer, let's break down the reasoning.
Typhoons, like all tropical cyclones, are formed from low-pressure systems. They draw their energy from warm ocean waters and can strengthen when there is a low-pressure area present.
In the case of Typhoon Nesat, after hitting the Philippines and causing widespread flooding, it was predicted to head towards Hanoi, Vietnam. If it continued along the same path, a high-pressure area south of Bangkok would most likely have reduced its strength.
High-pressure systems, on the other hand, are characterized by descending air, relatively clear skies, and stable atmospheric conditions. These conditions are less favorable for the development and intensification of tropical cyclones.
So, if a high-pressure area were to form south of Bangkok along the projected path of Typhoon Nesat, it would create unfavorable conditions for the further strengthening of the typhoon. A high-pressure system can potentially weaken or disrupt the storm by introducing sinking air and stable atmospheric conditions that limit the typhoon's ability to draw energy from warm ocean waters.
Therefore, your answer of (B) is correct: The formation of a high-pressure area south of Bangkok would most likely have reduced the strength of Typhoon Nesat before it hit Hanoi, Vietnam.
