Question

The water cycle, solar energy, and wind are responsible for global weather patterns. Take a look at the diagram of the water cycle. What process is responsible for adding moisture to the atmosphere that could eventually fuel a hurricane? A) evaporation of ocean water B) precipitation due to condensation C) condensation of water vapor into clouds D) movement of clouds through the troposphere

Answer 1

Answer:The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

C.
Water vapor is the "fuel" for the hurricanes because it releases the "latent heat of condensation" when it condenses to form clouds and rain, warming the surrounding air. (This heat energy was absorbed by the water vapor when it was evaporated from the warm ocean surface, cooling the ocean in the process
