THANK YOU, ROMANTIC KILLER!!! I got 100%
Romantic Killer is correct.
1. To find the answer to where hurricanes form, you can start by considering the conditions required for their formation. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters, where the sea surface temperatures are typically 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher. These warm waters provide the necessary energy for the hurricanes to develop and strengthen. Therefore, the correct answer is: C) over warm ocean waters in tropical areas.
To answer the second question about where the energy of a hurricane comes from, you can analyze the factors contributing to its formation and intensity. While strong winds, Earth's spin, and Earth's moon can have some influence on the behavior of hurricanes, the primary source of energy is the Sun. The Sun's heat warms the ocean surface, causing the evaporation of water. This moisture-rich air rises, cools, and condenses to form clouds and precipitation, releasing large amounts of latent heat in the process. This release of latent heat provides the energy that powers the hurricane. Thus, the correct answer is: B) the Sun.
A) over the warm ocean waters surrounding the equator
D)Earth's moon ( I think)
