Weather Pattern

As a hurricane moves through warm waters, the water evaporates and the storm intensifies. What is the most likely effect as a hurricane moves inland?

• The hurricane gains moisture.

• The hurricane gains wind speed.

• The hurricane becomes weaker.

• The hurricane becomes stronger.

How can you compare the formation of tornadoes and hurricanes?

• Tornadoes form over warm, moist ocean water but hurricanes form over land.

• Tornadoes form over land, but hurricanes form over warm, moist ocean water.

• Hurricanes form over land, and tornadoes form over land.

• Hurricanes form over moist ocean water, and tornadoes form over moist ocean water.
