im pretty sure its the second one what do you guys think

It is a type of cold frontal uplift that occurs in waves along a squall line.

It is the rise in sea level of the water underneath a hurricane.

It is a spiraling storm system at the boundary between the polar air and the warm mid-latitude air.

It is the process of storm development over the mountains as air is uplifted by the mountain slopes.

  1. A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and flooding rain. A tropical cyclone feeds on heat released when moist air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapour contained in the moist air. They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows, leading to their classification as "warm core" storm systems.

    The term "tropical" refers to both the geographic origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively in tropical regions of the globe, and their formation in Maritime Tropical air masses. The term "cyclone" refers to such storms' cyclonic nature, with counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere. Depending on their location and strength, tropical cyclones are referred to by other names, such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression and simply cyclone.

    While tropical cyclones can produce extremely powerful winds and torrential rain, they are also able to produce high waves and damaging storm surge. They develop over large bodies of warm water, and lose their strength if they move over land. This is the reason coastal regions can receive significant damage from a tropical cyclone, while inland regions are relatively safe from receiving strong winds. Heavy rains, however, can produce significant flooding inland, and storm surges can produce extensive coastal flooding up to 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the coastline. Although their effects on human populations can be devastating, tropical cyclones can also relieve drought conditions. They also carry heat and energy away from the tropics and transport it toward temperate latitudes, which makes them an important part of the global atmospheric circulation mechanism. As a result, tropical cyclones help to maintain equilibrium in the Earth's troposphere, and to maintain a relatively stable and warm temperature worldwide.


  2. cyclone that forms on a front and, in maturing, produces an increasingly sharp, wavelike deformation of the front. ihoped i helped

  4. A cyclone which forms and moves along a front. The circulation around the cyclone’s center produces a wavelike deformation on the front. May also be call a migratory cyclone or low.

  5. The wave cyclone is a large inspiral of air that repeatedly forms, intensifies, and dissolves along the polar point.

  6. cyclone wave (′sī′klōn ′wāv)

    (meteorology) A disturbance in the lower troposphere, of wavelength 1000-2500 kilometers; cyclone waves are recognized on synoptic charts as migratory high- and low-pressure systems. A frontal wave at the crest of which there is a center of cyclonic circulation, that is, the frontal wave of a wave cyclone.
