<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.
One piece of evidence to support the theory that south America and Africa were once connected; Continental Drift.
Answer for first picture:
#1 = 43 degrees #2= 38 degrees
#3= 27 degrees #4= 45 degrees
Explanation for first picture:
All the angles are right angles. This means they all will equal 90 degrees! so if you take 90 degrees and subtract the one known angle you will have your answer! :)
Answer for 2nd picture:
#1 = X= 70 Y= 110
#2 = X= 102 Z= 102
#3 = X= 83 Y= 194
#4 = Y= 37 Z= 143
Explanation for second picture:
When you have angles like these the total will equal 360 degrees! look at the first pic, it shows 110 degrees, you also know that the angle across of it is equal to it. so together it equals 220 now subtract 360 - 220. you get 140. since you have two angles to figure out, you divide 140 into two. 140 / 2 = 70 degrees! you do the same steps for the rest of the problems!
