Geography World climates

Consider the following statements about Typhoon:

1.Typhoons require sea-surface temperatures of at least 26.5 degrees to form

2.When tropical cyclone moves to land, much of its severity is reduced mainly due to friction over land

3.The source of moisture for typhoon is cut off when it enters the land

4.Typhoon rarely forms over the Equator owing to very weak coriollis effect

How many of the statements given above are correct?

Only One

Only Two

Only Three

All Four

There are six main requirements for tropical cyclogenesis:

1. Sufficiently warm sea surface temperatures i.e. 26.5 degree Celsius.

2. Atmospheric instability.

3. High humidity in the lower to middle levels of the troposphere.

4. Enough Coriolis force to develop a low pressure center.

5. A pre-existing low level focus or disturbance.

6. Low vertical wind shear.

Second option is incorrect.
