Answer:

The eye of a hurricane is best described as the center point formed by low pressure.

Explanation:

The eye of a hurricane is the area of ​​clarity and relatively quiet weather in the center of a tropical cyclone.

A typical eye of a hurricane has a diameter of 20 to 30 km, in rare cases, up to 60 km. In this space, air has a higher temperature and lower humidity than in the surrounding wind and rain clouds. As a result, stable temperature stratification occurs.

The wall of wind and rain serves as an insulator for very dry and warmer air, descending into the center of the cyclone from the upper layers. Along the periphery of the eye of the storm, part of this air is mixed with air from the clouds and, thanks to the evaporation of the droplets, it is cooled, thereby forming a powerful cascade of relatively cold air descending along the inner side of the clouds.
