Hurricanes gain strength when it travels over ____________________ .

• cool ocean water

• salty ocean water

• warm ocean water

• shallow ocean water

Choose all conditions that must occur simultaneously for a hurricane to develop.

• low air pressure

• warm temperatures

• moist ocean air

• tropical winds (near the equator)

How does ocean water get warm enough for hurricanes to form?

• the convection of the Sun's energy onto the water

• the radiation of the Sun's energy onto the water

• the transformation of Sun's energy onto the water

• the conduction of the Sun's energy onto the water

Which situation would reduce the strength of a hurricane?

• the formation of a low-pressure area

• the formation of a high-pressure area

• warm water moving into the area

• cool water moving into the area

Which air pressure condition must occur for a hurricane to form?

• low-pressure atmosphere

• high-pressure atmosphere

• moderate-air pressure atmosphere

• slightly-mild air pressure atmosphere

Why do hurricanes form more often at the end of summer?

• The ocean water is cooling off and creating more moisture in the air.

• The ocean water is cooling off and creating less water vapor in the ocean.

• The ocean water is much warmer which fuels the water cycle and creates lower air pressure.

• The ocean water is much warmer which fuels an increase in water vapor on the ocean's surface.
