9. Which best explains why the air in the surroundings moves towards the eye during the formation of
typhoon?
A. Typhoons have no air pressure in the middle thus, pulling the air towards it.
B. Typhoons have normal air pressure in the middle thus, pulling the air towards it.
C. Typhoons have lower air pressure in the middle thus, pulling the air towards it.
D. Typhoons have higher air pressure in the middle thus, pulling the air towards it.
