lol you guys are prob adults by now
ooga is right
the name says it all...
ill tell you the answers when im done doing the test
the person who posted this in 2016 is litterly 17 years or older now LMAO
18 now lol
The factor that contributes to the strength of hurricanes is A- warmer ocean temperatures. To explain how this works, let's understand the process:
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters, typically with surface temperatures of at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius). The warm ocean water provides the necessary fuel for the formation and intensification of hurricanes.
As the sun heats the ocean's surface, the warm water evaporates and rises as water vapor. This process transfers heat energy from the ocean to the atmosphere and creates areas of low pressure at the surface of the ocean.
Rising air, laden with moisture, forms storm clouds and releases heat in the process. This heat release further powers the hurricane by increasing the instability and vigor of the storm system. The hurricane then continues to draw energy from the warm ocean waters, which leads to further intensification.
On the other hand, cooler ocean temperatures (option B) reduce the heat and energy available for hurricanes to form and strengthen. Rising sea levels (option C) and increasing levels of pesticides and other pollutants (option D) do not directly contribute to the strength of hurricanes.
Remember, warmer ocean temperatures are the main factor that can lead to more intense hurricanes.
