Why are hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator? a. there is more wind near the equator. b. there is less landmass near the equator. c. the ocean water can evaporate more quickly near the equator. d. the winds blow in opposite directions above and below the equator.

ANSWER:

Hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator because "the ocean water can evaporate more quickly near equator".

EXPLANATION:

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.

No, because you are more likely to see volcanic mountains where magma is rising along the mid-ocean ridge spreading to the center.

Ok so i just did that quiz and here are the answers: 1. how is continental crust different from oceanic crust? a. continental crust is more dense and contains a lot of basalt.b.continental crust is thinner and younger. < c. oceanic crust is thinner and younger.d.oceanic crust is thicker and contains a lot of granite.2. where do subduction zones often occur? a.where a continental plate is being split into two partsb.where an oceanic plate is moving toward a continental plate < c.where two oceanic plates are moving away from each otherd.where two continental plates are colliding3. at which type of boundary do lithospheric plates collide? a.convection boundariesb.contour boundariesc.gravitational boundariesd.convergent boundaries < 4. what is the best description of a convergent boundary? a.plates that move side by side past each otherb.plates that are attracted to each other by gravity  c.plates that move away from each otherd.plates that move toward each other < 5. how can mountain formation be described according to the theory of plate tectonics? a.as two continental plates collide along a convergent boundary, mountains are formed. < b.as a continental plate and an oceanic plate come together at a divergent boundary, mountains are formed.c.as any two plates meet at a fault line boundary, mountains are formed.d. as two continental plates move past each other at a transform boundary, mountains are formed.
