A.dissolving, open, occluded, cyclogenesis B.open, cyclogenesis, occluded, dissolving C.cyclogenesis, open, occluded, dissolving D.occluded, dissolving, cyclogenesis, open

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Forecasting Weather forecasts for the American Midwest are frequently more accurate than for the West Coast because A.once midlatitude cyclones develop their behavior is somewhat predictable. B.there are more weather stations in the Midwest. C.the Midwest does not have as much topographic relief. D.the Midwest is sheltered by the Rocky Mountains.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Violent Weather This map appears to confirm that thunderstorms A.occur in areas with the highest daytime temperatures. B.do not follow any pattern. C.occur in concert with hurricanes and other violent weather. D.are more common in areas with abundant moisture and convectional heating.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Violent Weather The most destructive storms on Earth in terms of total damage caused are known as A.hurricanes. B.typhoons. C.cyclones. D.all of the above E.tornadoes.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Tropical Cyclones The recent increase in the number of hurricanes has been definitively linked to A.increases in sea surface temperatures in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. B.increased population along the Gulf Coast. C.colder winters in northeastern North America. D.poor planning and forecasts by public agencies.
