Answer:

C

Explanation:

Hurricanes are formed due to the heating up of ocean water. When the water gets heated up, the air above it becomes warmer and less dense, and rises up. This creates a low pressure area just above the water body. Wind starts moving with great speed from high pressure areas to the low pressure area causing a hurricane. Around the Equator, there is more direct sunlight to heat the water and therefore the ocean water can evaporate more quickly around the Equator . These conditions are ideal for hurricane formation and so they form much more frequently around the Equator than in other locations.

<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.

14. Which of the following is likely the biggest threat to the existence of the European
8090 [49]

Answer:

Average life expectancy in most European countries extends well past the age of retirement.

Explanation:

The European Union, or at least most of its members, tend to have relatively good welfare systems. This is the case because of the strong economies of the countries but also because it helps the population, which in turn tends to have positive effects. Some countries are even targeted for migration just because of their generous welfare system.

This situation is very likely to change though as there is a very big chance that the economies of the European countries will not be able to sustain the welfare systems that they currently have. The main reason for this is that the population is aging. With the population becoming older and older, there are more and more people that rely on the welfare system, creating a disbalance in its functioning. On top of that, life expectancy is high and is gradually increasing, meaning that not just more people will rely on the welfare system but also for a longer period of time.
