🔍 Key Concepts

• Stages of tropical cyclone development (disturbance, depression, storm, hurricane/typhoon) • Typical wind speed ranges (in knots or mph) for each stage • Relationship between central pressure, wind strength, and cloud structure in tropical systems

💭 Think About

• Which stage of development is first associated with gale force winds? Recall approximate wind speed thresholds. • At what stage does a system become well organized and vertically stacked with strong cumulonimbus clouds? • Which of the options represents a fully developed intense system versus early/mid stages of development?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which stage is defined by gale force winds (around 34–63 knots / 39–73 mph). • Check which stage normally has a closed, organized circulation with a radius on the order of 100 miles or more. • Verify which option corresponds to a system that typically has central pressure below 990 mb and strong convection (towering cumulonimbus).
