Q: Winter storms develop from what, which form at high altitudes and are associated with hurricanes as well?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Like hurricanes, winter storms develop from cyclones. But in the case of winter storms, the cyclones form at higher latitudes. In North America, cyclones often form when the jet stream dips south in the winter. This lets dry polar air pour south. At the same time, warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico flows north. When the two air masses meet, the differences in temperature and pressure cause strong winds and heavy precipitation. Two types of winter storms that occur in the U. S. are blizzards and lake-effect snow storms.

 Choices:

- fronts

- currents

- droughts

- cyclones


A:
cyclones
