Question 856Navigation General
70% to passWhich statement is FALSE concerning the dangerous semicircle of a hurricane?
The correct answer is A) The rain is heavier. This is correct because the dangerous semicircle of a hurricane is characterized by higher wind speeds, higher seas, and the potential to be carried directly into the storm's path, but not necessarily heavier rain. The other statements (B, C, and D) accurately describe features of the dangerous semicircle. The other options are incorrect because they correctly identify key characteristics of the dangerous semicircle, such as the direction of the wind and seas (B), the increased wind speed due to the storm's forward movement (C), and the higher seas (D). However, the rain itself is not necessarily heavier in the dangerous semicircle compared to other parts of the hurricane.
