DISTURBANCE BECOME STRONGER WEAKENS/ DIES
Stage 1
-NE Trade Winds and
the SE Trade Winds
converge, forming
clouds and
thunderstorms
 FORMATION OF
TROPICAL
DISTURBANCE
Stage 2 -When strong winds
pull in warm and moist
air from the oceans,
the thunderstorm
becomes a tropical
disturbance
Stage 3

-Tropical disturbance
can become stronger
as it collects warm and
moist air over the
ocean
Stage 4

-Tropical
disturbance doesn’t
like land and cold
water
 Classification of
typhoons
are based from
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED GUSTINESS
WINDS
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS

-the highest surface

wind speed average
over a 10 minute
period
GUSTINESS
-sudden temporary
increase in wind
speed over a certain
period
Arrange the following according to the increasing
maximum sustained winds and gustiness.
Tropical Storm Super Typhoon

Severe Tropical Storm

Typhoon Tropical Depression

Typhoons rotate in
anti or counter-
clockwise in the
northern
hemisphere and
clockwise in
southern
hemisphere.

Typhoons rotate
because of Coriolis
Effect.
