Tropical Cyclone Formation

A. Arrange the following as to the correct sequence of tropical cyclone formation.

A. The Coriolis effect causes the winds to rotate.

B. When water gets as hot as 26.5 degree Celsius (°C) or higher, warm moist ocean air rises and condenses to form clouds.

C. As wind rotate a column of low pressure develops at the center forming the eye.

D. Warm ocean water provides energy for the tropical cyclone and causes more evaporation making the air humid and more cloud formation.

E. As pressure in the eye decreases, the speed of the wind around it increases. The process continues causing a tropical cyclone to form.
