For what reason do NC weather systems typically come from the west?

Earth's rotation moves the jet stream from west to east

the Gulf Stream moves in a circular motion in the Atlantic Ocean

the elevation of the wester U.S. is higher than the elevation of the easter U.S.

strong winds from the tropical zone move the water currents from west to south

What affect does a Gulf Stream have on a hurricane as it approaches the NC coast?

It carries warm tropical water that warms the air and causes the hurricane to gain strength.

Cool air of the Gulf Stream causes the hurricane to lose strength.

It carries cold water from the north and forces the hurricane to the south.

Strond winds of the Gulf Stream push the hurricane up the coast.

During the day, how do winds blow near the ocean?

Colder air over the ocean moves toward the wamer air over the land.

The sea breeze causes wind from the land to move toward the ocean.

The land breeze causes wind from the ocean to move toward the land.
