Question

hurricane zones
according to the map, most hurricanes occur where—
a. the oceans are warmest
b. the landmasses are largest
c. the atmosphere is driest
d. areas of greatest population exist

Explanation:

Hurricanes require warm ocean water (at least 26.5°C/80°F) to form and gain energy, as the warm water evaporates to fuel the storm's circulation. The map shows hurricane zones concentrated in tropical and subtropical ocean regions, which are the warmest ocean areas. Large landmasses, dry air, and population density do not drive hurricane formation.

Answer:

A. the oceans are warmest
