Use this interactive game to create a \”perfect storm.\” Go through and adjust the atmospheric conditions to produce a
powerful hurricane. If you get the conditions perfect, you will get a score of 80 and the simulation will prompt you to
answer a few questions. If you go on to answer the questions correctly, you can boost your score to 100. It may take you
several attempts to get your perfect storm and you do not need to report your score. Use the help buttons to understand
how each factor contributes to the formation of the storm. Once you are satisfied with your score, answer the questions
below. Copy and paste the questions into a word document. Once you have answered all the questions, save the
document using your last name and student ID as the file name and upload to Blackboard for grading.
