The correct Answer is:
To determine which type of storm is most likely to suck up air from a building and cause it to explode, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Types of Storms We need to identify the characteristics of the different types of storms mentioned: - **Tornado**: A rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes can create very low pressure, which can suck air out of buildings. - **Cyclone**: A large scale air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure. It generally does not have the same localized sucking effect as a tornado. - **Thunderstorm**: A storm characterized by the presence of lightning and thunder. While thunderstorms can produce strong winds, they do not typically cause buildings to explode due to air pressure differences. - **Typhoon**: Essentially the same as a cyclone but occurs in the Northwest Pacific region. Like cyclones, they do not have the same localized effect as tornadoes. ### Step 2: Analyze the Situation The question states that the storm "sucks up air from the building and makes the building explode." This indicates a rapid drop in pressure inside the building, which is characteristic of a tornado. Tornadoes can create a significant pressure difference, leading to the destruction of buildings. ### Step 3: Eliminate Other Options - **Cyclone**: While cyclones are powerful storms, they do not have the localized sucking effect that tornadoes do. - **Thunderstorm**: Although thunderstorms can be severe, they do not typically cause buildings to explode by sucking air out. - **Typhoon**: Similar to cyclones, typhoons do not exhibit the same behavior as tornadoes. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the analysis, the storm that is most likely to suck air from a building and cause it to explode is a **tornado**. ### Final Answer The storm is most likely to be a **tornado** (Option 1). ---
