1. What happens to a hurricane as it hits land and moves away from water?

• The wind speeds increase and become stronger so it causes more damage

• The size of it increases because it has access to more heat to fuel it

• The wind and strength weakens because it can't draw from the warm ocean water anymore

• It becomes stronger as it collides with a cold front and the cold air makes it spin faster

How is heat from the Sun distributed around Earth?

• The Sun heats the Earth during the night and that heat is spread around during the day

• Convection of wind and ocean currents move heat from the equator to the poles

• Wind carries heat from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure

• Ocean currents move heat from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere
