Identify the atmospheric extreme events A, B, C and D
The question requires identifying atmospheric extreme events represented by A, B, C, and D on a diagram showing mean duration of events along a timeline from minutes to weeks. Let's analyze the given options to find the correct matching of events:
- A = Hail storms: Hail storms typically last for minutes, fitting the position of A.
- B = Blizzards: Blizzards can continue for hours, correlating with position B, which is in the 'Hours' section.
- C = Tropical Cyclones: These usually last for several days, aligning with position C under 'Days'.
- D = Riverine floods: These events can extend over weeks, matching D in the 'Weeks' section.
Based on the positions for their typical durations, the correct answer is:
This is the logical sequence based on the expected duration times of each atmospheric event as depicted in the diagram.
