Q

The international name of 2024 tropical storm that has entered the PAR in September 3,
2024 and made its egress during the night of 4th of the same month. However, this has intensified
into super typhoon as it made its landfall 7th of September on northern Vietnam, causing flashfloods
and strong winds that destroyed a bridge and other infrastructures.

A

YAGI

17
Q
  • The study of the formation and topography of mountains and hills, which also
    encompasses their moisture that originates from above the ocean.
A

OROGRAPHY

18
Q
  • The process of warm air rising and cool air sinking. In typhoons, warm, moist air rises
    and cools, causing water vapor to condense and release energy, which powers the storm.
A

CONVECTION

19
Q
  • An individual with specialized education who uses scientific principles to explain,
    understand, observe, or forecast the Earth’s atmospheric phenomena and/or how the atmosphere
    affects the Earth and life on the planet.
A

METEOROLOGIST

20
Q

The amount of water vapor in the air, a critical factor in typhoon formation.

A

HUMIDITY

21
Q

A tropical weather system with lower pressure and wind speeds, which can develop
into a typhoon.

A

DEPRESSION

22
Q
  • A spinning, often turbulent flow of air or fluid, typical in the structure of a typhoon.
A

VORTEX

23
Q

The outward flow of air from the upper levels of a typhoon, helping to maintain its
strength.

A

OUTFLOW

24
Q

Air that moves towards the center of a typhoon, feeding the storm.

A

INFLOW

25
Q

The coming together of winds from different directions, leading to rising air and
storm development.

A

CONVERGENCE

26
Q

The spreading apart of air, often at high altitudes, which can strengthen a typhoon.

A

intensity.

A

TROPOPAUSE

29
Q

Light rain that may occur in the outer bands of a typhoon.

A

DRIZZLE

30
Q
  • Water in its gas form, essential in the energy cycle of typhoon formation.
A

VAPOR

31
Q

The large-scale movement of air that defines the structure of a typhoon.

A
