Cluster 2: Tropical Environments 1 Cyclone Batsirai was a deadly tropical cyclone which heavily impacted Madagascar in February 2022 and is one of the strongest tropical cyclones to strike Madagascar . Resource 1 shows global distribution of tropical cyclones. Resource 2 shows the pathway of Cyclone Batsirai from 2 February to 7 February 2022 and its effects on rainfall pattern in the region. Resource 3 shows a photograph of a mass movement which occurred in Madagascar after Cy clone Batsirai. Resource 4 shows a diagram classifying different types of mass movement. (a) Describe the global distribution of tropical cyclones shown in Resource 1. [5] General (Spatial distribution) • Generally, tropical cyclones can be observed in the tropical regions between 5°N - 30°N and 5°S - 30°S over tropical oceans. Specific (Spatial distribution) • Cyclone pathways observed in Resource 1 generally move from these tropical regions towards higher latitudes. • There is a greater proportion of tropical cyclones formed at the Northern Hemisphere (69%) as compared to the Southern Hemisphere (31%). Specific (Temporal distribution) • Specifically, while tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere tend to occur in the later half of the year (e.g. May to November over the Arabian Sea), those in the Southern Hemisphere mainly occur from the late to beginning of the year - from January to March. Anomaly (Spatial distribution) • An anomaly observed would be that within the tropical region of 5°N - 25°N and 5°S - 25°S, areas such as the western and eastern coasts of South America do not experience any tropical cyclones. • No tropical cyclones found in the South Atlantic Accept any othe
