Answer:

Oceans = > 97 percent of Earth's water.

Glaciers = > 70% of Earth's freshwater

River = > Powered by gravity

Groundwater = > 100 times more water than all rivers and lakes

97% of the water on Earth is not drinkable as it is salt-water in oceans.

Of the 3% that is freshwater, Glaciers make up about 70% which means that we don't have access to a significant amount of freshwater either.

Of the available freshwater to us, groundwater comprises 98% which enables it to be 100 times more than all rivers and lakes.

Rivers are powered by gravity in that they flow from areas of higher elevation to areas of lower elevation as gravity pulls it downwards.

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.
