GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which term describes a circulation of air or water that is caused by uneven heating? Convection current. What is the main source of heat energy for weather on the earth? The sun. In what ways are a hurricane and a tornado alike?
