The chart shows how climate change and rising ocean temperatures might affect the types of hurricanes we see this century. The bars show the results from different math models used to make the predictions.

Category 1 includes the least powerful hurricanes. Categories 2 and 3 are moderate hurricanes. Categories 4 and 5 include the most powerful hurricanes.

Based on the information provided on the chart, we can classify the questions into two categories: "Can Be Answered Using the Chart" and "Cannot Be Answered Using the Chart."

Can Be Answered Using the Chart:
1. Which type of hurricane is expected to strike more frequently this century?
Justification: The chart shows the percentage change over the 21st century for different types of hurricanes. By comparing the bars representing different categories of hurricanes, we can determine which type is expected to occur more frequently.

2. Which areas are at the highest risk for hurricanes?
Justification: The chart does not directly provide information about specific areas at risk, but it presents how climate change and rising ocean temperatures might affect the types of hurricanes. Generally, areas near coastlines and regions prone to tropical storms often face higher risks for hurricanes. These patterns can help in understanding which areas might be at a higher risk based on the projected changes shown in the chart.

3. Which types of hurricanes are expected to drop in frequency by more than 25% this century?
Justification: By examining the percentage change over the 21st century for the different categories of hurricanes, we can identify which types are expected to decrease by more than 25%.

4. In general, will hurricanes likely become stronger or weaker this century?
Justification: The chart displays the projected effects of climate change and rising ocean temperatures on various hurricane categories. By analyzing the bars representing each category, we can determine whether hurricanes are expected to become stronger or weaker.

Cannot Be Answered Using the Chart:
1. How are hurricanes formed in the atmosphere?
Justification: The chart does not provide information regarding the formation of hurricanes. Understanding how hurricanes are formed requires knowledge of atmospheric conditions, such as warm water, low-pressure systems, and the Coriolis effect.

2. How many category 4 and 5 hurricanes can we expect this century?
Justification: The chart does not include specific numbers or counts of hurricanes. It only displays the percentage change over the 21st century for different hurricane categories, but it does not provide specific numerical data.

In conclusion, several questions can be answered using the chart, such as those related to the expected frequency and changes in hurricane categories. However, questions related to hurricane formation and specific numerical counts of hurricanes cannot be answered using the given chart.

Based on the given chart, we can classify the questions as follows:

Can Be Answered Using the Chart:
1. Which type of hurricane is expected to strike more frequently this century?
The chart shows a % Change over the 21st Century. We can compare the bars representing each hurricane category to determine which category is expected to increase in frequency.

2. Which areas are at the highest risk for hurricanes?
The chart does not explicitly show geographical information, but we can infer that areas experiencing an increase in the frequency of hurricanes (such as Category 4+5 hurricanes) might be at higher risk.

3. Which types of hurricanes are expected to drop in frequency by more than 25% this century?
By comparing the bars representing different hurricane categories, we can identify the categories that show a decrease of more than 25% in expected frequency.

Cannot Be Answered Using the Chart:
1. How are hurricanes formed in the atmosphere?
The chart does not provide information about the formation of hurricanes. To answer this question, we would need a different source explaining the atmospheric conditions required for hurricane formation.

2. In general, will hurricanes likely become stronger or weaker this century?
The chart only provides information about the frequency of hurricanes, not their strength. To answer this question, we would need additional data or a different source that specifically discusses the expected changes in hurricane strength.

3. How many Category 4 and 5 hurricanes can we expect this century?
The chart does not provide specific numbers or counts for the expected number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes. To determine the exact count, we would need access to the data or specific information from the math models used to make the predictions.

The answers are the following that can be answered using the chart:

A. Which type of hurricane is expected to strike more frequently this century?
Category 4 + 5C. In general, will hurricanes likely become stronger or weaker this century?
Stronger, because there are more stronger ones thant he weaker ones that can result to hurricane.

E. Which types of hurricanes are expected to drop in frequency by more than 25% this century?
Categories 1, 2, 3

The answers are the following that can be answered using the chart:

A. Which type of hurricane is expected to strike more frequently this century?
Category 4 + 5C. In general, will hurricanes likely become stronger or weaker this century?
Stronger, because there are more stronger ones thant he weaker ones that can result to hurricane.

E. Which types of hurricanes are expected to drop in frequency by more than 25% this century?
Categories 1, 2, 3

Explanation:
The chart to be used to answer the question is currently missing. After obtaining online, I have attached it to this solution of this question.
From the graph, the prediction shows a negative percent change in the number of category 1 and category 2 & 3 hurricanes (greater than -25% change) and category 4 & 5 hurricanes get a positive percent change of more than +75% change)

Now, taking the statements, one at a time.
A. Which type of hurricane is expected to strike more frequently this century?
From the chart, only category 4 & 5 hurricanes are predicted to have a positive percent change in number, hence, they are the ones expected to strike more frequently in this century.

B) How are hurricanes formed in the atmosphere?
This information cannot be read off from the graph. So, the answer provided isn't from this chart of prediction.
Hurricanes are formed when warm, moist air from the ocean surface begins to rise rapidly, and they encounter cooler air that forces the warm water vapor to condense& form storm clouds with drops of rain.

C) In general, will hurricanes likely become stronger or weaker this century?
The less powerful hurricanes are predicted to have more than 25% negative percent change in number.
But the most powerful categories of hurricanes are predicted to have more than 75% positive percent change in number.
Although, the true figures aren't clear, but more hurricanes that happen are bound to be classified as category 4 & 5 hurricanes. It can be perceived that hurricanes are getting stronger in this century.

D) Which areas are at the highest risk of hurricanes?
This information cannot be read off from this chart. It isn't provided.

E) Which types of hurricanes are expected to drop in frequency by more than 25% this century?
From the chart, category 1 and category 2 & 3 hurricanes are predicted to drop in frequency by more than 25% this century.

F) How many category 4 and 5 hurricanes can we expect this century?
From the chart, we're predicted to have more than 75% positive percent increase in the number of category 4 & 5 hurricanes.
The number of category 4 and 5 hurricanes we should expect this century will be more than 75% higher than the previous century.

Explanation:

A geographic information system (GIS) is a type of database containing geographic data (that is, descriptions of phenomena for which location is relevant), combined with software tools for managing, analyzing, and visualizing those data. In a broader sense, one may consider such a system to also include human users and support staff, procedures and workflows, body of knowledge of relevant concepts and methods, and institutional organizations.
