Tropical Storms & Climate Change Flashcards

All 4 cards in this deck

How might climate change affect the distribution of tropical storms?: More ocean areas will be above 27 °C, so storms could form over a wider area and further from the Equator.
How might climate change affect the intensity of tropical storms?: Warmer seas give storms more energy, so wind speeds, rainfall and storm surges are expected to be greater.
Give one reason other than warmer seas why records show more tropical storms than in the past.: Improved recording and monitoring of weather events, so more storms are detected.
True or false? It is certain that climate change will increase the number of tropical storms each year.: False. Intensity and the length of the storm season are expected to increase, but changes in frequency are uncertain.
