Question

The map below shows the direction of ocean currents near North America.



Why do the ocean currents cause the East coast of the United States to experience significantly more tropical storms and hurricanes than the West coast of the United States?
A The ocean currents on the West coast bring cold water from the Equator, while the ocean currents on the East coast bring warm water from the North.
B The ocean currents on the East coast bring cold water from the Equator, while the ocean currents on the West coast bring warm water from the North.
C The ocean currents on the West coast bring warm water from the Equator, while the ocean currents on the East coast bring cold water from the North.
D The ocean currents on the East coast bring warm water from the Equator, while the ocean currents on the West coast bring cold water from the North.

Answer 1

Answer:d.

Explanation:hope you guys got it that’s what I got and it was right

Answer 2

This question is incomplete because the map is missing. Here I attach a similar map.

The reason why the ocean currents cause the East coast of the United States to experience significantly more tropical storms and hurricanes than the West coast of the United States is D. The ocean currents on the East coast bring warm water from the Equator, while the ocean currents on the West coast bring cold water from the North.

A tropical storm is a natural phenomenon characterized by the rotation of a storm that produces strong winds and abundant rainfall around a center of low pressure.

Generally, tropical storms occur near the Equator because the currents of air and the sea have higher temperatures. This forms a convective air movement in which the evaporation of seawater forms large clouds.

Additionally, tropical storms occur in the intertropical zones (close to Equator), because in this place the air masses are heated more by the direct rays of the sun. While in the areas further North or South, tropical storms do not form, because the convective currents of air and the sea are not as strong.

Therefore, answer D is correct because it expresses the main reason that differentiates the East and West zones from the coasts of the United States related to tropical storms, while options A, B and C show phenomena that are not related with the formation of tropical storms in the coasts of the United States.
