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.

Yes, this is true:
Equator runs through the northern part of Lake Victoria (which is on the border between Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania). Specifically, it passes through some islands (the Ssese Islands, some of which are inhabited) on Lake Victoria that belong to Uganda.
Answer:

Explanation:
I major in Geography
Answer:
The answer would be B
Explanation:
Looking at the map(s), we can see that 1911 Britain has less white and yellow than 1701 Britain, but more orange and red, this means that Britain is way more densely populated in 1911 than in 1701.
Hope this helps :)
