The weaker warm storms that grow stronger over time are finally converted into huge storms or hurricanes. Which of the following climate regions is the origin of such hurricanes?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Tropical climate region.
Hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones or typhoons, typically originate in the tropical climate region. These regions provide the ideal conditions for storm formation—warm ocean waters, high humidity, and low wind shear. When weak warm storms form over tropical seas, they can intensify as they absorb heat and moisture from the ocean surface. As they grow stronger, they develop into powerful hurricanes with high-speed winds, heavy rainfall, and destructive potential. The tropical climate region, especially between 5° and 20° latitude north and south of the equator, is the primary zone where such storms are born and intensified.
