Why does the airs waters surface become cooler when water evaporates?
The fastest moving molecules are the "hottest". Think about vaporization for a second. It's a transformation from liquid to gas right? So the fastest moving molecules are the first to vaporize into a gas. Because of this it lowers the average kinetic energy (temperature) of the water thus making it cooler.
Which best describes the best way sunlight creates ocean currents?
Sunlight warms the waters on the ocean surface. Some heat energy is transferred to cooler waters through convection.
What keeps hurricanes going and why doesnt it get tired?
Hurricanes get their energy from moist air. They originate in over oceans as the water evaporates. Hurricanes eventually die out when they travel over land or cooler waters, where their water vapor source is cut off to fuel the storm.
Is it true that most hurricanes lose their power in cooler waters?
yes.
Where does neptune necklace live?

Where do hammerhead sharks?
Hammerhead sharks are known to live in mostly warm, tropical waters, only venturing into cooler waters to breed. They dwell in shallower areas and/or the neuritic zone of the ocean.in salt water like near the Gulf of MexicoThey prefer to live in warm water that is found along the Coastlines. They can be found in tropic and sub tropic waters all over the world. They tend to migrate to cooler water in the summer months. They prefer to live well below the surface of the water.
What are the surface waters of the earth called?
