<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.
Answer:
Explanation:
the motion of surface winds in the Northern hemisphere on Earth due to the uneven heating of the atmosphere and Coriolis force. Due to the Earth's rotation, surface winds have different speeds at different latitudes as follows:
Surface winds travel faster closer to the equator (0 degrees latitude).
Surface winds travel slower closer to the North pole (90 degrees latitude).
