What is the missing first step of the following process: - Under the right conditions it can develop further and start to spin around a low-pressure center - If it develops it's classified as a 'tropical cyclone' or 'tropical depression' - If the system strengthens and wind speeds rise past 39 mph, the system is dubbed a 'tropical storm' - If the pressure in the center drops even further and the winds really pick up and forms a clearly defined 'eye' it's a hurricane -

What is the missing first step of the following process: - As the plates move, they exert a great force - When the force is large enough, the crust breaks - The stress is released as energy - The energy moves through the Earth in the form of waves - We feel the earthquake -
