As they approach North America, hurricanes commonly move north on clockwise-curving paths due to the:- <u>Coriolis effect</u>
<u>Coriolis effect</u>
- An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.
The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth’s rotation. Specifically, Earth rotates faster at the Equator than it does at the poles. Earth is wider at the Equator, so to make a rotation in one 24-hour period, equatorial regions race nearly 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) per hour. Near the poles, Earth rotates at a sluggish 0.00008 kilometers (0.00005 miles) per hour.

<span>The most volcanically active belt on Earth
is known as the Ring of Fire, a region of subduction zone
volcanism surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Subduction zone volcanism
occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate
containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate,
thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle.
This on-going process is called subduction. As the
descending plate bends downward at the surface, it creates a large
linear depression called an oceanic trench. These
trenches are the deepest topographic features on the earth's surface.
</span>
<span>The crustal portion of the subducting
slab contains a significant amount of surface water, as well as
water contained in hydrated minerals within the seafloor basalt.
As the subducting slab descends to greater and greater depths,
it progressively encounters greater temperatures and greater pressures
which cause the slab to release water into the mantle wedge overlying
the descending plate. Water has the effect of lowering the melting
temperature of the mantle, thus causing it to melt. The magma
produced by this mechanism varies from basalt to andesite in composition.
It rises upward to produce a linear belt of volcanoes parallel
to the oceanic trench, as exemplified in the above image of the
Aleutian Island chain. The chain of volcanoes is called an island
arc. If the oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath an adjacent
plate of continental lithosphere, then a similar belt of volcanoes
will be generated on continental crust. </span>
Answer:
The answer is the Geography Hypothesis.
Explanation:
The geography hypothesis holds that the differences in prosperity that are found around the world are due in large part to forces of nature, like the differences in geography, climate, and ecology that are evident in different regions of the world. The geography hypothesis emphasizes how the natural environment can explain why some nations are more prosperous than others. In contrast, the institutions hypothesis emphasizes the influences that are made and caused by humans. Human poverty is largely man-made in the institutions view.
