Which of the following is not a stage in hurricane formation?

A)

Thunderstorms in a low-pressure area combined with the Earth’s rotation cause the storm’s initial rotation.

B)

Pollution in the atmosphere raises the temperature of the air, creating a depression.

C)

Warm, moist air rises from the sea and increases the storm’s energy.

D)

As water from the sea turns into water vapor, latent heat enters the storm, causing the storm’s energy to increase.

E)

As condensation (rain) occurs, latent heat is released, which warms the air and makes it lighter, causing the hurricane to increase in strength and intensity.
