Answer:

North America is in the northern hemisphere

longitude - gives the East and West position of a point.

Latitude - give the north to south position of a point

Equator - it's a invisible line that goes around the earth, that has equal distance from the poles. It also divides the north and south hemispheres.

Hemisphere - the half of earths sphere, it's divided into four areas, north, south, east, and west. the invisible line crosses over all of them stretching to both poles.

Tropic of cancer - is the most northern latitude on earth, the sun can be seen overhead. it's 23.4 degrees north of the equator.

Tropic of Capricorn - is the most souther latitude on earth, you'll be able to see the sun directly over head. 23.4 degrees south of the equator.

Prime meridian - the invisible line that goes north to south at 0 degrees longitude. the prime meridian also separates the west and east hemisphere.

Greenwich - an area in London, England, that references the prime meridian line that passes through the town, the marked the area with a laser to imitate the line.

England international date line - an invisible line that goes from the north to south pole, i demonstrates the change of the calender day.

Arctic circle - the most southern latitude in the north hemisphere, the sun could be seen 24 hours a day.

Anarctic circle - is the most southern point of earth, parallel latitude and 66.5 degrees south of the equator

don't mind the spelling errors, I was typing fast.

Most of the hurricanes that affect the east coast
Lina20 [59]
Most fo the hurricanes that affect the east coast of the United States originally form over the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean in Summer (1). The warm waters of the Gulf Stream run along the east coast of the United States. This provides an environment which is conducive to the development of hurricanes. The basics of the formation of a hurricane are as follows. Winds start blowing in a circular motion. This causes hot, moist air to rise. Clouds are formed and the winds start blowing faster and faster. This forms a low-pressure zone. The surrounding high-pressure zones pull the hurricane towards them. As the hurricane moves, it either picks up speed or decreases its speed and intensity.

Why does the ozone hole form in spring?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

c) No UV light until spring

Explanation:

According to research, chlorofluorocarbons also known as CFCs, are chemicals that are mainly responsible for the destruction of the ozone gas.

<em><u>This is all due to the interaction of different factors, and not only because of the presence of UV. </u></em>

In Antarctica, the ozone levels become significantly reduced during spring because of these chemicals that contain chlorine, producing a hole where cool air becomes trapped. This air produces clouds that are responsible of the release of chlorine from the CFCs, an extremely important process of the formation of an ozone hole. The more clouds there are, the more gases are released, and the worse the ozone hole will be in spring.

Because the sun rises and becomes more intense during spring, it degrades these gases and releases the free radicals of chlorine, which are highly detrimental for the ozone layer as they destroy numerous molecules of ozone. By the beginning of summer, there is a higher amount of ozone that comes from other areas which help fill the ozone hole.
