Typhoons are one of the most powerful natural disasters on Earth. They usually form over warm ocean waters near the equator. When the water temperature reaches about 27 degrees Celsius, the warm air rises quickly and creates strong winds. These winds can reach speeds of over 200 kilometres per hour. A typhoon can cause terrible damage to coastal areas, destroying buildings, uprooting trees, and flooding low-lying land. In China, typhoons often hit the southeastern coast between May and November. The government has set up warning systems to help people prepare for these storms. When a typhoon is coming, people are urged to stay indoors, lock their doors and windows, and keep electronic devices charged in case of power failure. They should also avoid low-lying areas and stay away from the coast. Despite the dangers, scientists are working hard to predict typhoons more accurately. With better technology, they can now give earlier warnings, which helps save lives. The key to surviving a typhoon is to be prepared and stay calm. As one survivor said, "We cannot stop the typhoon, but we can learn to live with it." 1. Do typhoons usually form over cold ocean waters?(1分) _ 2.
