Question

A location on land has the conditions stated below.

moisture
unstable air
winds to carry air upwards
Which of these weather conditions is most likely to occur in the location?

Select one:
a. flood
b. blizzard
c. hurricane
d. thunderstorm

Answer 1

I believe the answer is D. Thunderstorm
Unstable air indicates that the lowest layers of an air mass  is low in temperature. Thunderstorms is more likely to happen if there is unstable air mass because it provide a situation where there is more energy for the Thunderstorms to feed off of.

Answer 2

Answer:

C, or Hurricane.

Explanation:

While hurricanes have warm cores, hurricanes typically require moisture to form (they form on top of oceans), and winds carry air upwards into the atmosphere. Also, the lapse rate of a hurricane must be unstable around the eyewall to insure rising parcels of air will continue to rise and condense water vapor (aka the air is unstable). Thus, the answer is C.
