When the typhoon is no longer covering any landmass of the country. C. When the typhoon is no longer affecting the atmospheric condition of the country D.

"Tropical cyclones entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) are called typhoons." This statement is: Sabus 9 A. True, because the local term for a tropical cyclone in our country is typhoon. B. True, because tropical cyclones entering the PAR are already considered as typhoons. C. False, because a tropical cyclone entering the PAR is categorized according to its maximum sustained winds. D. False, because all tropical cyclones in our country are super typhoons due to their strength. 7. Which of the following is the correct sequence of events of tropical cyclone formation? I. Warm ocean water heats up the air above it and warm air rises. II. Heat makes the air rise even more and the air in the surroundings keep coming in. The air starts to spin. III. Water vapor in the rising water condenses and heat is given off. IV. The rising warm air results in a low-pressure area and the air in the surroundings move towards it. A. I, II, III , IV B. IV, III, II, I C. I, IV, III, 11 D. I, III, II, IV 8. What happens to a typhoon if it moves over land? A. It gains strength and its winds become more violent. B. It loses strength and weakens. C. It maintains the maximum sustained winds of planets. D. Landforms have no effect on typhoons. 9. The following are probable reasons for a sudden change in the direction of a typhoon within the PAR, EXCEPT: A. A low-pressure area is near the country B. A high-pressure area is near the country C.
