Question 1 options: shifts in climate means and variation that occur over periods longer than 10 years warming of temperatures over decades a phenomenon that cannot be studied and has no evidence a phenomenon that can be seen on a global level, but is not observable more locally a hoaxarrow_forwardWe know that hurricanes form above warm ocean water. And it's thought that warmer water can lead to stronger hurricanes. The Earth warmed one degree Fahrenheit over the 20th Century. Warming is causing sea surface temperatures to climb. Has the warming climate had an impact on hurricanes? This is an area of active research. One way that scientists are trying to answer this question is by looking at the history of hurricanes. The graph below on the left shows the total number of hurricanes that happened in each region during three time periods. The graph on the right shows the number of very strong hurricanes that happened over the same three time periods. Total Number of Hurricanes Number of Strong Hurricanes (Category 4 and 5 storms) 250 200 s0 150 40 100 30 20 50 10 East Pacific West Pacific Ocean North Soutwestern North Indian South Indian East Pacific West Pacific Ocean North Soutwestern North Indian South Indian Осean Atlantic Pacific Осеan Осean Ocean Atlantic Pacific Осеan Ocean…arrow_forward
