To be a hurricane, the sustained wind speed must be...
a) 40 miles per hour. b) no less than 74 miles per hour.
c) no more than 74 miles per hour. d) more than 150 miles per hour.
366. For the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico, the hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Since 1886, about 97 percent of the recorded tropical storms have fallen between those dates. Most happen in August, September, or October. That is when the oceans are the warmest. The ocean water temperature needs to be above 80 degrees for a hurricane to form.
Hurricanes are classified into five groups based on wind speed. When steady winds from a storm reach 40 miles per hour, the storm is named. When the maximum sustained winds reach 74 miles per hour. it is called a hurricane. In the Pacific tropics they are called typhoons. Storms in Category 3 or higher are major hurricanes.
According to the text, tropical storms are also called ………
a) tsunamis b) tornadoes c) typhoons d) season winds

368. Reptiles have been around for millions of years and once were the most common vertebrate animals on Earth. Today, reptiles are divided into four main groups: turtles and tortoises; lizards and snakes: crocodiles and alligators; and the tuatara. A tuatara looks like a lizard, but it isn't. It's a species left over from a group of reptiles as old as dinosaurs. It is the closest thing to a living dinosaur. Tuataras live only in New Zealand and are in danger of becoming extinct.
Some reptiles spend most of their time in water. But most species live on land. All have scaly skin to protect them. Reptiles are found in all habitats except polar ice and the tundra.
