the strength of a hurricane is ranked from 1 to 5 on the:
saffir - simpson scale.
mohs scale.
richter scale.
coriolis scale.
fujita scale.

Explanation:

• Saffir - Simpson Scale: Specifically designed to rank hurricane strength from 1 to 5 based on wind speed and potential damage.
• Moh's Scale: Used for mineral hardness, not related to hurricanes.
• Richter Scale: Measures earthquake magnitude.
• Coriolis Scale: Not a standard scale for ranking natural disasters like hurricanes. The Coriolis effect is a factor in hurricane formation but not a ranking scale.
• Fujita Scale: Ranks tornado intensity.

Answer:

Saffir - Simpson Scale.
