Answer 9

Well, let's take a closer look at it.
The equator is the warmest area of Earth.
Winds move according to pressure and combining temperatures.

For instance, tornadoes occur because of the warm air combining with the cooler air.

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

So, let's not eliminate that one quite yet.

Answer 13

Right! The Earth does not bulge slightly in any location.

Answer 14

Answer 17

Well, the sun's rays ARE perpendicular to the equator, and because of this, the equator is the warmest area of Earth.
Like I said earlier, because of the warm temperature combining with the cooler temperature, the air starts to circle (sometimes forming tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.)

We can eliminate choice C because just those words alone don't prove anything.

So yes, you are correct!
