answer the following questions in brief
Answers
5. Altitude is related to air pressure. As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.
6. Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons are all types of tropical storms. Aside from slightly different wind speeds, there is no difference between a hurricane, a typhoon, and a cyclone. They are all basically the same thing but are given different names depending on where they appear.
7. This is because tornadoes and twisters are the same. The term “twister” is just slang for “tornado” because of how it acts; technically, a tornado is a rapidly twisting vortex that most of the time gains strength as it moves along land. “Tornado” is generally the term used by meteorologists
8. In meteorology, air currents are concentrated areas of winds. They are mainly due to differences in atmospheric pressure or temperature. They are divided into horizontal and vertical currents; both are present at mesoscale while horizontal ones dominate at synoptic scale
