🔍 Key Concepts

• Tropical cyclone intensity categories used by the National Hurricane Center (depression, storm, hurricane) • The wind speed range that separates a tropical depression from a tropical storm • The minimum wind speed at which a tropical cyclone is classified as a hurricane

💭 Think About

• Think about which wind speed range is too low and would still be considered a tropical depression, not yet a storm. • Consider which wind speed range is high enough that the system would already be classified as a hurricane instead of just a tropical storm. • Identify the middle range that fits between a depression and a hurricane on the standard Saffir-Simpson/NOAA scale.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the knot range for a tropical depression and make sure you exclude that lower-speed option. • Verify the minimum knot value for a hurricane and eliminate any choice that starts at or above that value. • Confirm which remaining answer choice spans only the speeds that are above a depression but below a hurricane.
