What does it mean when the pressure drops in a tropical storm?

When the pressure drops in a tropical storm, it indicates that the storm is intensifying and becoming stronger. A lower pressure system is associated with stronger winds and heavier rainfall, which can lead to more severe weather conditions.


What is a large swirling low-pressure system that forms over tropical waters?

A large swirling low-pressure system that forms over tropical waters is called a hurricane or typhoon (depending on the region). These storms are known for their strong winds, heavy rainfall, and potential for causing widespread damage.


What is a large swirling low pressure system that forms over tropical waters?

A storm system called a 'Tropical Cyclone' also known as a 'Hurricane' if it forms over the Atlantic, a 'Cyclone' if it forms over the Indian Ocean and a 'Typhoon' if it forms over the Pacific.


When winds blow 39 mph per hour with tropical depression is a what storm?

If sustained winds reach or exceed 39 mph, a tropical depression becomes a tropical storm.


What is a tropical storm system that circulates around an area with low pressure called?

Generically if the wind speed reaches at least 64-79 knots the storms are called 'Tropical Cyclones'. However, these storms are also given regional names, if they form over the Atlantic they are also known as a 'Hurricanes' , while if they form over the Indian Ocean they are called a 'Cyclones'. Finally if they form over the Pacific they are called a 'Typhoons'.

Where in your circulatory system do you think your blood pressure is highest lowest?

In general blood pressure is lowest in the pulmonary system, meaning from the pulmonary trunk through the lungs and back to the heart. The systemic system has a higher blood pressure since it must flow to all parts of the body. That being said all veins also have a lower blood pressure as well, when compared to the arteries and arterioles.


What is the lowest pressure that remains in the arterial system during ventricular relaxation?

this is called the diastolic pressure meaning when the heart is in diastole. The diastolic number is the bottom number in common blood pressure. i.e. in a pressure 120/80 the lowest measured pressure is 80mmHg during ventricular relaxation

What storm has the greatest range of pressure?

The tropical cyclone has the greatest range of pressure. It is a low-pressure system that forms over warm ocean waters and can have a range of pressure between 900 to 1050 millibars.

Is a cyclone called a depression?

There is such thing as a tropical depression, a type of cyclone. The "depression" part is named after the low-pressure system of the cyclone.


Were pressure systems associated with hurricane Katrina?

Yes. Like all hurricanes Katrina itself was an intense low pressure system. Katrina's development was aided by the remnants of Tropical Depression Ten, another low pressure system. Katrina's path was influence by the Bermuda High, a semipermanent high pressure system over the Atlantic. Later on, the remnants of Katrina were absorbed by yet another low pressure system.


What is the largest storm on record?

That would be Typhoon Tip. It reached its peak intensity on 12 Oct., 1979 near Guam with sustained winds of 190 mph (305 km/h) and a world record low sea level pressure of 870 mbar. It was also the largest tropical cyclone ever recorded with a circulation pattern diameter of 1380 miles (2220 km).
