Transcribed Image Text:3. Lines of longitude and latitude are drawn in Figure 1 at 5° intervals. At 28°N, one degree of
longitude extends over an east-west distance of about 98 km (61 mi.). According to Figure 1,
the width of Harvey's hurricane force wind swath at 28°N was approximately
km.

Among the conditions that form hurricanes are broad expanses of ocean with surface
temperatures of at least 26.5°C (about 80°F). Figure 2 displays surface ocean temperatures on 23
and 30 August 2017, near Harvey's landfall. The western Gulf of Mexico sea-surface
temperatures range from dark red for 32°C to dark blue at 26°C, with the detailed legend below
and to the left of the map. On the right, the temperatures on 30 August use the same scale, with
the Harvey track added and color coded for hurricane strength.
