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.

What can you determine from the principles of cross-cutting relationships?
MatroZZZ [7]
Using the principles of cross-cutting relationships, you can determine the relative age of rocks found in the ground. The idea behind it is that the geologic feature which cuts another is the younger of the two features, and it had been around for 400 years. It's not very precise but it is good for determining relative age.
