Explanation / Answer

77) atlantic ocean, because its margins tend to be passive.

if the continental margins are passive shelves become wider and, if the boundaries are active shelves become narrow like in pacific.

78) a,b and c

hurricanes form over the warm ocean water if the temperature is above 26 degree celsius and also, there should be the coriolis force that makes it circular motion.

79)number of waves passing a stationary point in one minute.

its unit is per second, after counting the number in one minute, divide it by 60
