70% to passA storm's track is characterized by all of the following except _______________.
A
the direction the storm has come from
B
the path taken by the storm
C
the direction in which the storm is moving
D
the speed at which the storm is moving
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) the speed at which the storm is moving. The track of a storm is characterized by the direction the storm has come from (A), the path taken by the storm (B), and the direction in which the storm is moving (C). However, the speed at which the storm is moving is not part of the storm's "track" characterization. The storm's speed is a separate piece of information that is typically reported along with the track details. The other options (A, B, and C) are all correct characteristics of a storm's track, which is why they are not the "except" in this question.
