It also has a lower carbon footprint and produces fewer emissions than other fossil fuels. Additionally, its higher energy density means that it takes up less space, making it more efficient to transport and store.

Ans: (a)

Explanation:

• A cyclone forms when warm ocean water and high wind speeds come together to create a low pressure system. As the warm ocean water evaporates, it creates a column of moist air that rises and cools, forming a rotating storm system.
• high wind speeds: A circulation system goes through a sequence of stages as it intensifies into a mature tropical cyclone. The storm begins as a tropical disturbance, which typically occurs when loosely organized cumulonimbus clouds in an easterly wave begin to show signs of a weak circulation. Once the wind speed increases to 36 km (23 miles) per hour, the storm is classified as a tropical depression. If the circulation continues to intensify and the wind speeds exceed 63 km (39 miles) per hour, then the system is called a tropical storm. Once the maximum wind speed exceeds 119 km (74 miles) per hour, the storm is classified as a tropical cyclone.
