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.
