Question

hurricanes, or typhoons, form over ocean waters near the equator. hurricanes that can affect florida follow the path formed by the gulf stream current. the gulf stream is pictured below. why might a hurricane follow this path? gulf stream the gulf stream has carved a clear path through land. the fast - moving water drives the hurricane along the current. the hurricane gains energy from warm, moist air. there is an increase in air pressure along the gulf stream.

Explanation:

Hurricanes rely on warm, moist ocean air to gain and maintain energy. The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current that provides this warm, moist air, which fuels the hurricane and influences its path to follow the current. The other options are incorrect: the Gulf Stream is an ocean current, not a path through land; fast-moving water does not physically drive the hurricane; and hurricanes are associated with low air pressure, not increased pressure.

Answer:

The hurricane gains energy from warm, moist air.
