Alfred Wegener produced evidence in 1912 that the continents are in motion, but because he could not explain what forces could move them, geologists rejected his ideas. Almost 50 years later Harry Hess confirmed Wegener’s ideas by using the evidence of seafloor spreading to explain what moved continents.

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.
