Q1 Causal explanation / process understanding

Explain the conditions needed for a tropical storm to form and strengthen.

Show a model answer

Model answer. Tropical storms form over very warm ocean water, generally at least about 27°C, which supplies heat and moisture. Warm, moist air rises and condenses, releasing latent heat that powers further uplift and falling pressure. The ocean must be far enough from the equator for the Coriolis effect to create rotation, and vertical wind shear should be low so the storm structure is not torn apart.
