HELP!! The orange parts of the map below represent areas in which hurricanes frequently form. The white arrows show the typical paths of hurricanes.

Why are hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the Equator?

A. The winds blow in opposite directions above and below the Equator.

B. There is less landmass near the Equator.

C. There is more wind near the Equator.

D. The ocean water can evaporate more quickly near the Equator.

sorry, but you do not have posted the diagram.

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics

above statement is not a true statement about the open ocean because the open ocean has low levels of nutrients. most of the photosynthetic activity on earth occurs in the open ocean within the photic zone. organisms in the deep ocean are exposed to frigid temperatures and total darkness but it does not begin at the low-tide mark.
