Question

Why do you think most of the hurricane storm tracks on the figure below curve to the right? a. The effect deflects them to the right because this is m the northern hemisphere. b. They don't really curve right; it looks that way only because of map distortion. c. The advance portions of the huge hurricane air mass begins to encounter either the Rocky Mountains (and is defected north) or the Appalachians (and is defected northeastward). d. Hurricanes are routed to the ocean currents/flow of the underlying North Atlantic Gyre.

Explanation / Answer

hurricanes are routed to the ocean currents/flow underlying north Atlantic gyre.

hurricanes are flooded warm water as it evaporates off the sea. in tropical latitudes, nearer the equator prevailing wind patterns push storms towards the west because of the high-pressure axis called the subtropical ridge which extends east-west of the storms.they are steered away from land by prevailing wind patterns and surrounding environmental flow. Atlantic hurricanes can form anywhere from just off the west coast of Africa to somewhere near the Caribbean to inside the gulf of Mexico.they form out in Atlantic tend to move westward towards the united states and then they turn north and recurve back to the east.
