Since more heat is being radiated down to Earth from the excess greenhouse gases
in the atmosphere, scientists predict an increase in the amount and intensity of
hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean. What's happening in the atmosphere that will cause
this change?
A. The ocean waters are cooling down as the ocean currents change

B. The ocean waters are heating up which leads to cooler, less dense air rising to form clouds
C._

The ocean waters are heating up which leads to warmer, less dense air rising to
form clouds

Answer:

C. The ocean waters are heating up which leads to warmer, less dense air rising to form clouds

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases, due to their ability to trap heat, has caused an increase in the Earth's atmospheric temperature called GLOBAL WARMING. The result is that more heat is being radiated down to Earth from the sun. This could lead to hurricanes in water bodies.

Hurricanes are forceful storms that occurs when ocean waters heat up leading to warmer, less dense air that rises to form clouds. Hurricanes are called tropical cyclones.

Hurricanes have resulted from the heating of ocean water, forming clouds. Thus, option C is correct.

Hurricanes are tropical cyclones that arose from the central low atmospheric pressure zone. The strong winds, thunderstorms and heavy rains are symbolizes hurricanes.

What atmospheric changes cause hurricanes?

The greenhouses are the molecules that are present in the earth's atmosphere and are able to trap solar energy. The greenhouse gases are able to keep the earth warm.

The increase in greenhouse gases results in an increase in the temperature of the earth, leading to global warming.

The increased temperature of the earth leads to the warming of the oceans. The rise in the temperature results in the formation of low pressure and clouds.

The low-pressure results in the thunderstorms, that form the clouds and results in hurricanes.

Therefore, hurricanes have resulted from the heating of ocean water, forming clouds. Thus, option C is correct.
