Explanation / Answer
1) Radar was developed secretly during ww2 for military use. It can measure relative velocity by Doppler effect and It doesn't take high intensity waves to generates images.
So the correct answer is optio C.
2)the correct answer is option D.
3) The Coriolis force only deflects the wind and so don't strengthen the hurricane. It generally form by release of latent heat and so the correct option is C.
4) the mid latitude cyclones and hurricane have similarities but they occur at different places so the correct answer is easterly waves.
