Answer 1

Answer:

3.Weather Radars and Satellites are used to track the cyclones as they produced.

4.eastern coast

ii)Define the following

1. Cyclone -a system of winds rotating inwards to an area of low barometric pressure, with an anticlockwise (northern hemisphere) or clockwise (southern hemisphere) circulation; a depression.
