Year 10 JSS Exam Flashcards
How does a Cyclone Gabrielle form?
- Warm coral sea temperatures of 30C
- Abundant moisture
- Light winds higher up in the atmosphere
Process of cyclone formation
- Warm air from the ocean rises into the sky leaving a gap for strong winds to rush into.
- The rising air brings moisture with it; this cools and condenses to form towering storm clouds or the eye wall.
- When the cool air descends it forms an area of calm (the eye)
- Spin of the earth leads the storm to spin.
