Question

which evidence best supports your answer to part a?
storms remain the same strength after moving over land.
storms weaken when they lose access to warm ocean currents.
storms gain energy from land surfaces after moving inland.
storms strengthen when they pass over colder ocean water.

Explanation:

Storms, especially tropical - type storms, derive their energy mainly from warm ocean waters. When they lose access to warm ocean currents (which provide heat and moisture), they weaken. Storms usually weaken over land as land surfaces do not provide the same level of energy as warm ocean waters. They do not gain energy from land surfaces, and they do not strengthen over colder ocean water.

Answer:

Storms weaken when they lose access to warm ocean currents.
