<h2>Answer: Option D</h2><h2 />

Option A, "a large swirling, low-pressure system that forms over the warm Atlantic Ocean"  is incorrect because tornadoes do not form over water. That would be a hurricane.

Option B, "a winter storm with wind speeds of at least 56 km/h and low visibility" Is incorrect because tornadoes do not form in cold weather. That would be a blizzard.

Oa boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature​ption C, "a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground" is correct <u>because tornadoes are columns of air that rotate due to warm air and cold air colliding.</u> They usually occur during a thunderstorm.

Option D, "a boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature​" is incorrect because tornadoes are not based on air mass, density, moisture, or temperature. This would be a front.

What are 3 important influences in geography?
Sonbull [250]
One important influence is climate ie many Canadians, especially from the cold Prairies like to move to Vancouver, BC because the climate is so much milder in the winter due to the proximity of the Pacific Ocean. Another important influence is topography, so that if a country is mostly mountainous, the cost of road building will be more expensive than on, say the prairies or on the coastal desert of Peru and northern Chile. Another important influence of geography is the presence of fertile soil such as in El Salvador from the ash of the volcanoes to grow coffee in, or the fertile floodplain of the Nile River in Egypt.
