Question 1083Navigation General
70% to passIn a cyclone the lowest pressure is found in the _______________.
A
outer edge
B
cold front
C
warm front
D
center
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) the center. In a cyclone, the lowest pressure is found at the center of the storm system. This is because the air in the center of a cyclone is rising rapidly, creating a localized area of low pressure. The pressure then gradually increases from the center outward towards the outer edges of the cyclone. The other answer choices are incorrect because the cold front, warm front, and outer edge of a cyclone are not the locations of the lowest pressure. The lowest pressure is concentrated at the center of the cyclone, which is the defining characteristic of this type of weather system.
