    Explanation
    A typhoon is a large and violent tropical cyclone that forms over warm ocean waters. It is characterized by low atmospheric pressure and strong winds, typically exceeding 74 mph. Typhoons are commonly found in the western Pacific Ocean and can cause significant damage due to their powerful winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges. They are similar to hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean and cyclones in the Indian Ocean.

    Typhoon Haiyan is the most destructive typhoon ever struck the Philippines in the past 30 years

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Typhoon Haiyan is considered the most destructive typhoon to hit the Philippines in the past 30 years. This statement is true because when Typhoon Haiyan struck in November 2013, it caused widespread devastation, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives and causing extensive damage to infrastructure and property. The typhoon had wind speeds of up to 195 mph and storm surges that reached up to 30 feet, making it one of the strongest storms ever recorded. The impact of Typhoon Haiyan was so severe that it prompted international aid and relief efforts to assist the affected areas.

    • PSWS #3

    • PSWS #4

    Correct Answer
    A. PSWS #2
    Explanation
    PSWS #2 is the correct answer because it indicates that a tropical cyclone is expected to affect the area within the next 24 hours with winds ranging from 61-120 kph. The other options, PSWS #1, PSWS #3, and PSWS #4, do not specify the wind speed range or the timeframe within which the cyclone is expected to arrive.

    • PSWS #3

    • PSWS #4

    Correct Answer
    A. PSWS #3
    Explanation
    The given answer, PSWS #3, is the correct answer because PSWS stands for Public Storm Warning Signal, and PSWS #3 indicates that a tropical cyclone is expected to bring winds of 121-170 kph within at least 18 hours. This means that PSWS #3 is the appropriate warning signal to indicate the wind speed range mentioned in the statement.

    A advisory given by the PAGASA

    • PSWA/PSWS

    • PWS/KKPH

    • KPH/SWS

    • PWA/PWAS

    Correct Answer
    A. PSWA/PSWS
    Explanation
    The correct answer is PSWA/PSWS. This is likely an abbreviation for Public Storm Warning Signal/ Public Storm Warning System. PAGASA, which is the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, provides weather advisories and warnings, particularly for storms and typhoons. PSWA/PSWS would be the appropriate acronym for their storm warning system.

    • PSWS#5

    Correct Answer
    A. PSWS#4
    Explanation
    The given correct answer, PSWS#4, suggests that wind speeds between 171-220 kph may be expected in at least 12 hours. This implies that a typhoon or severe weather system is approaching, and the public should be prepared for potentially strong winds and other associated hazards. PSWS#4 is likely a warning level indicating a significant threat, prompting people to take necessary precautions and stay updated with official advisories.

    • PSWS #4

    • PSWS #2

    Explanation
    PSWS #3 is the correct answer because it indicates a public storm warning signal given with moderate to heavy damage. This suggests that the storm is severe and could cause significant destruction. The other options, PSWS #1, PSWS #2, and PSWS #4, do not specify the extent of damage and therefore do not accurately describe the situation.
