🔍 Key Concepts

• Dangerous semicircle vs navigable semicircle of a hurricane in the Northern Hemisphere • Effect of storm’s forward motion on wind speed and direction on each side of the track • Relationship between wind field, sea state, and rain bands around a tropical cyclone

💭 Think About

• Visualize yourself looking down on a hurricane in the Northern Hemisphere. On which side does the storm’s forward motion ADD to the rotational winds, and on which side does it SUBTRACT? • Think about which things (wind, rain, sea height, risk of being set toward the storm) are generally WORSE on the dangerous semicircle compared to the navigable semicircle. • Ask: is there any choice that describes a condition that is NOT necessarily stronger or more severe in the dangerous semicircle than elsewhere?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which side is called the dangerous semicircle in the Northern Hemisphere relative to the storm’s track. • For each option, compare it with what’s typical of the navigable semicircle – if it’s equally true or more true there, that may signal the FALSE statement. • Check which phenomena are directly related to wind speed and storm motion (and thus clearly worse on the dangerous semicircle) versus those that are more related to rain bands and overall storm structure.
