- Which of the following best describes the Fujiwhara Effect?
Correct
- Solution (d)
Explanation:
The Fujiwhara Effect occurs when two tropical cyclones, lows, or vortices come within proximity (typically within ~1,000 km). Their circulations begin to interact, causing them to orbit around a common center.- If the systems are of unequal strength, the smaller one tends to orbit the larger one.
