Answer:

<u>D. Earth's rotation</u>

Explanation:

  • The Coriolis force, cause distinct pressure zones between the equator and the poles due to the spinning of the earth on its axis. This force directs the winds on the right side in the northern hemisphere and directs them in the left side in the southern hemisphere.
  • This force is the cause and consequence of the earth's internal inertia. Friction force causes it to be actively seen in motion. Compared to other force Coriolis force is smaller and it only deflects the pressure pattern in north and south spheres.  
  • Horizontal deflation is grater near the poles, and less away from poles. The named is given after a French mathematician and physicist Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis.

Hurricanes develop most often in the late summer when ocean waters have reached what temperature?
kkurt [141]

Hurricanes develop most often in the late summer when ocean waters have reached temperatures of 27°C (80°F) or higher.

Hurricanes are huge storms and they have spinning winds moving at 74 miles per hour. The terrible force of the whirling wind blows across the tropical waters' warm surface. This force blasts ashore, wrecking havoc and even taking lives.

A tropical cyclone may be called a hurricane, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, or simply a cyclone, depending on its location and intensity. The powerful tropical cyclone which occurs in Atlantic Ocean or north-eastern Pacific Ocean is called a hurricane.
