Incoming solar radiation is almost double at the equator then at the poles, causing the water closer to the equator to be warmer. The heat difference also causes the oceans to swirl so the water that is around the equator will eventually end up at the poles and keep circulating around.

1. Which of the following is a correct description of a tornado? (1 point)
spayn [35]
<h2>Answer: Option D</h2><h2 />

Option A, "a large swirling, low-pressure system that forms over the warm Atlantic Ocean"  is incorrect because tornadoes do not form over water. That would be a hurricane.

Option B, "a winter storm with wind speeds of at least 56 km/h and low visibility" Is incorrect because tornadoes do not form in cold weather. That would be a blizzard.

Oa boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature​ption C, "a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground" is correct <u>because tornadoes are columns of air that rotate due to warm air and cold air colliding.</u> They usually occur during a thunderstorm.

Option D, "a boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature​" is incorrect because tornadoes are not based on air mass, density, moisture, or temperature. This would be a front.
