 Read the text and answer questions 6 to 10.

A hurricane is an intense, rotating oceanic weather system that has maximum

continued winds exceeding 119 km/hr (74 mph). It forms and intensifies over tropical
oceanic regions.

Hurricanes are generally smaller than storms in mid-latitudes, typically about 500 km
(311 miles) in diameter. At the ocean’s surface, the air spirals inward in a
counterclockwise direction. This cyclonic circulation becomes weaker with height,
eventually turning into clockwise (anticyclonic) outflow near the top of the storm.When
a hurricane hits land, it can do great damage through its strong winds, heavy rains,
inland flooding, and huge waves. A powerful hurricane can kill more people and destroy
more property than any other natural disaster.
Hurricanes are categorized according to the strength of their winds. It is measured by
using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. A Category 1 storm has the lowest wind
speeds, while a Category 5 hurricane has the strongest. These are relative terms,
because lower category storms can sometimes cause greater damage than higher
category storms, depending on where they strike and the particular dangers they bring.
In fact, tropical storms can also produce significant damage and loss of life, mainly due
to flooding.

6. What does the text mainly discuss?

A. The dangerous waves.
B. The power of the winds.
