Question

This hurricane is moving to the northwest from the Gulf of Mexico. What can you conclude about the hurricane? A. It is gaining more energy. B. Its winds are decreasing. C. It is producing stronger storm surges. D. It is producing tornados.​

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Because hurricanes depend on a source of warm water and low wind shear to gain strength, the landfall and progressive overland track of a storm will weaken in significantly.

We can tell from the map that the eye of the hurricane is now over land and that the supply of warm water from the Gulf of Mexico is being cut off. As a result, the storm will weaken and the wind speeds will decrease.
