Answer 1

The answer is D) warm water evaporated from the ocean
B/C when warm evaporated water meets cool air it causes a hurricane to happen

Answer 2

D) warm water evaporated from the ocean

Step-by-step explanation:

Hurricanes start in warm water and due to wind conditions. When the wind blows over the ocean, the water evaporates, turning into steam. The steam rises, cools and condenses into drops of water, forming clouds. These clouds accumulate and thunderstorms occur. Thus a tropical disturbance is born. If the storm winds at least 74 mph, it transforms into a tropical cyclone or hurricane. It can increase its strength if it persists in warm waters.
