Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]1} A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops between 180° and 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere. This region is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin, and is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting for almost one-third of the world's annual tropical cyclones.[/tex]
[tex]2} A Typhoon is an intense area of low atmospheric pressure. ... The more intense the area of low pressure the higher the wind speeds near the center. A Typhoon is a low pressure weather system with sustained wind speeds near its center of at least 56 knots (about 105 kph).[/tex]
[tex]3} All typhoons have five characteristics: low air pressure, strong winds, cyclonic rotation, heavy rains, and storm surge.[/tex]
[tex]4} A typhoon refers to a tropical cyclone that takes place in the northwest Pacific Ocean, west of the international date line. Effects of typhoons. It can killed: Humans, Plants and Animals.[/tex]
[tex]5} For organizational purposes, the northern Pacific Ocean is divided into three regions: the eastern (North America to 140°W), central (140°W to 180°), and western (180° to 100°E). The Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) for tropical cyclone forecasts is in Japan, with other tropical cyclone warning centers for the northwest Pacific in Hawaii (the Joint Typhoon Warning Center), the Philippines and Hong Kong. While the RSMC names each system, the main name list itself is coordinated among 18 countries that have territories threatened by typhoons each year.[2][/tex]
