Explain why you think it would make sense to expect tropical cyclones to
form in these areas. What will be an ideal response?
These areas are over the oceans and are between 5° and 30° latitude. Formation points
are symmetrical between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres elsewhere. The
SE Pacifi c and S Atlantic Oceans are at the same latitude as other areas that produce
tropical cyclones, so it seems unusual that tropical cyclones do not form there.
