Conditions that birth a typhoon.

by Ella mae joy Peña

What sea surface temperature is generally favorable for typhoon formation?

SST above 26.5°C

SST below 15°C

SST exactly 20°C

Which wind condition is favorable for tropical cyclone development?

Strong surface winds

Low vertical wind shear

High vertical wind shear

What humidity level is conducive in the mid-troposphere?

Very dry upper atmosphere

Low humidity at all levels

High mid-troposphere humidity

Typhoons require what effect to develop rotation away from the equator?

Earth’s gravity

Ocean currents

Coriolis effect

What kind of initial weather feature seeds a typhoon?

Stable high pressure

Strong cold front

Pre-existing disturbance

Which atmospheric process must vent air outward at high levels?

Mid-level stagnation

Upper-level convergence

Upper-level divergence

Why is land interaction undesirable for typhoon development?

Disrupts structure

Enhances rotation

Provides more heat

At which latitudinal zone do tropical cyclones typically form due to Coriolis?

Right at the equator (0°)

Only near the poles

Away from the equator (roughly 5°–20°)

What surface feature enhances low pressure and convergence?

Surface divergence

Strong albedo

Surface convergence

What systems can serve as seeds for typhoons in the tropics?

Desert dust storms

Tropical waves or disturbances

Mid-latitude fronts

You can integrate the game into an LMS compatible with LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 such as Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard. This way, the scores will be automatically saved into the platform’s gradebook.
