Which choice lists vortices from smallest to largest?

A. Suction vortex, tornado, mesocyclone, hurricane, extratropical cyclone
B. Suction vortex, mesocyclone, tornado, extratropical cyclone, hurricane
C. Tornado, suction vortex, hurricane, mesocyclone, extratropical cyclone
D. Extratropical cyclone, hurricane, mesocyclone, suction vortex, tornado
E. Mesocyclone, suction vortex, hurricane, tornado, extratropical cyclone

Answer :

Mesocyclone, suction vortex, hurricane, tornado, extratropical cyclone. A mesocyclone is the smallest of the vortices, and is a rotating column of air up to several kilometers in diameter.

The correct choice is e.

A suction vortex is a very localized and often weak rotation, and can be smaller than a mesocyclone. A tornado is also a localized rotating column of air, but is typically stronger and more violent than a suction vortex.

A hurricane is a massive storm system consisting of very strong winds, while an extratropical cyclone is a low-pressure area rotating around a center of rotation. Extratropical cyclones typically have lower wind speeds than hurricanes.
