Answer:

The correct statement for comet is - ( a ) They have highly elliptical orbits around the sun

Explanation:

The comet is made up by the composition of dust , water , ice , rock and frozen gases like , the carbon dioxide , methane , ammonia and carbon monoxide .

Comet shows a process called outgassing , i.e. , the comet passes close to the sun , then they start to release gases , which is visible in the form of a comet's tail .

The comet and its tail glows by the sun and becomes visible when the comet passes through the solar system , because the dust partials reflects sunlight directly and the gas glows due to ionization process.

The orbital of comet is usually highly eccentric elliptical path .

Why are hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator? A. There is more wind near the equator. B. There is less landmass
levacccp [35]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

Hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator because "the ocean water can evaporate more quickly near equator".

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Hurricanes are fast moving wind storms that use heat and most air as their fuel. The air near the 'equator' is warm and moist causing more hurricanes.
  • The warm and moist air from the 'ocean surface' rises above and generates an "area of low pressure".
  • This causes air from nearby areas to move to the area of low pressure. This new air becomes moist and warm. This warm air when cools forms clouds.
  • This cloud systems and winds grows and spins fed by the "water evaporating" from the surface of the ocean. This in turn creates a storm called a hurricane.
