Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth. People call these storms by other names, such as typhoons or cyclones, (17)__________ on where they occur. The scientific term for all these storms is tropical cyclone. Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are (18)__________ "hurricanes". Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm (19)__________ waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface. Another way to say the same thing is that the warm air rises, causing an area of lower air (20)__________ below. Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes into the low-pressure area. Then that "new" air becomes warm and moist and rises, too. As the warm air continues to rise, the surrounding air swirls in to (21)__________ its place. As the warmed, moist air rises and cools off, the water in the air forms clouds. The (22)__________ system of clouds and wind spins and grows, fed by the ocean's heat and water evaporating from the surface.

NASA's Mars Global Surveyor has orbited the planet since March 1999 on a mission to map and study the planet's entire surface. The long-term mission has produced particular insights into the dynamic planet's changing seasons and shifting weather, including its infamous dust storms. Perhaps the most famous of all Martian missions is that of the Mars exploration rovers Spirit and Opportunity. These two rovers reached opposite sides of Mars in January 2004 and have proceeded to explore the planet far more extensively than previous missions. The rovers have covered several miles and returned more than 100,000 high-resolution images. Probing soil and rocks, they have also used their fully equipped lab modules to conduct robotic field geology tests on the Martian surface and even below it. Many future Mars missions are already in development and will take place long before any human visits the planet. Scientists hope that robotic craft can delve far beneath the Martian surface to return data, and possible samples, of the planet's geology. Such missions could even find signs of the water, and possible life, that may lie hidden beneath the planet's forbidding exterior.

Bão là những cơn bão dữ dội nhất trên Trái đất. Người ta gọi những cơn bão này bằng những cái tên khác, chẳng hạn như bão hoặc lốc xoáy, (17) tùy thuộc vào nơi chúng xảy ra. Thuật ngữ khoa học cho tất cả các cơn bão này là xoáy nhiệt đới. Chỉ những xoáy nhiệt đới hình thành trên Đại Tây Dương hoặc đông Thái Bình Dương mới (18) được gọi là "bão". Lốc xoáy nhiệt đới giống như những động cơ khổng lồ sử dụng không khí ẩm và ấm làm nhiên liệu. Đó là lý do tại sao chúng chỉ hình thành trên vùng biển ấm (19) gần xích đạo. Không khí ẩm, ấm trên đại dương bốc lên từ gần bề mặt. Bởi vì không khí này di chuyển lên và đi khỏi bề mặt, có ít không khí còn lại gần bề mặt. Một cách khác để nói điều tương tự là không khí ấm tăng lên, gây ra một khu vực có áp suất thấp hơn (20) bên dưới. Không khí từ các khu vực xung quanh có áp suất không khí cao hơn đẩy vào khu vực có áp suất thấp. Sau đó, không khí "mới" đó trở nên ấm và ẩm và cũng tăng lên. Khi không khí ấm tiếp tục tăng lên, không khí xung quanh xoáy vào (21) thế chỗ. Khi không khí ẩm nóng lên và nguội đi, nước trong không khí tạo thành mây. (22) Toàn bộ hệ thống mây và gió quay và lớn lên, được cung cấp bởi sức nóng của đại dương và nước bốc hơi từ bề mặt.
