Question

Which of the following statements are TRUE of tropical cyclones/hurricanes?

Storm surge is caused by strong winds piling up water in the left-front quadrant of the system.

They require a source of warm water at least 85F, which extends to at least a depth of 10 feet.

The double-eyewall structure develops in a strong storm as a result of spiral band convergence outside the initial eyewall.

In an unstable easterly wave, the axis tilts to the east with height, leading to convergence and precipitation on the west side of the trough

All of the above are true
