1. Tropical Depression - is formed when a low-pressure area is accompanied by thunderstorms that produce
a circular wind flow with maximum sustained wind below 39mph.
2. Tropical Storm – is a tropical cyclone that has maximum sustain surface wind ranging from 39 to 73mph.
3. Typhoon – is a mature tropical cyclone that develop between 180° to 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere.
Wind speed have to reach at least 74mph.
4. Super Typhoon – the most severe, a tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed exceeding 137mph, is
given storm signal #5.
Instructions: Part A. Identify correctly the following terms. Write your answer on the space provided.
Refer to the choices in the table.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Speed
Super Typhoon Tropical Depression
Eye Wind Shear
ITCZ Cyclogenesis
Cumulonimbus Tropical Depression
Trade Winds Wind Shear

_______________ 1. A fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure,
usually due to changes in temperature.
_______________ 2. Nearly constant easterly winds that dominate most of the tropics and subtropics
throughout the world, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere,
and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.
_______________ 3. Means it exceeds the maximum sustained winds of 115mph.
_______________ 4. A general term for warm weather storm systems that occur over tropical waters.
_______________ 5. The area of lowest atmospheric pressure, with diameter which may span 20-65 km
wide, winds are weak, the temperature is warm, and the sky is clear-everything is calm.
_______________ 6. Is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained wind speed of less than 39mph.
_______________ 7. Wind velocity changes from point to point in a given direction.
_______________ 8. A region known for its lowest surface pressure, where the converging air ascends,
condenses, and strengthens into sufficiently strong tropical disturbances.
_______________ 9. The process of development of a tropical cyclone.
_______________ 10. A cloud of a class indicative of thunderstorm conditions, characterized by large,
dense towers that often reach altitude
Part B: Analyze each statement carefully to be TRUE or FALSE.
1. Tropical cyclones need water vapor to form.
2. Tropical cyclone requires ocean water to develop.
3. Super typhoon has a wind speed greater than 200 lm/h.
4. Typhoon has a wind speed less than between 119-200 kph.
5. Tropical storm has a wind speed between 65-118 kph.
6. Tropical cyclone is a system of thunderstorms that are moving around the center.
7. Typhoon is from the Northeastern part of the Pacific Ocean.
8. Hurricane is from the Southern part of Atlantic Ocean.
9. Typhoon moves in circular motion.
10. Northern hemisphere is also known As Northwestern Pacific Basin.

Condensation releases As the water vapor rises, The warmed air

heat into the it cools and condenses continues to rise with
atmosphere making the into liquid droplets. moist air from the ocean
