Hurricanes are very destructive. Meteorologists try to predict where hurricanes will make landfall so that people can evacuate the area. They make these predictions by constructing hurricane tracking maps from data.

Which of the following would be the most important information to plot on a tracking map to predict where a hurricane will land?

the average temperature of the hurricane

the amount of rainfall that the hurricane produces

the position of the hurricane over time

the relative humidity of the hurricane
