"1. moisture (water vapor) in the air near the surface
2.  instability - relatively large decrease of air temperature with height
3.  lift - some process (such as a front) that forces air to rise"

The air is dry during the summer and any moisture amount is increased in the afternoon as the temperature cools.

<u>Answer:</u>

The tornadoes in the USA occur mainly during the summer afternoons because the excess warming of ocean water in summer afternoons warms up the air right above the water and stimulates a cycle of vertical circulation of air resulting in the generation of a tornado.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • When the air near the ocean surface warms up, it becomes light and rises above the heavier packet of air.
  • This action happens in a continuous loop and eventually results in the generation of a tornado.

The process of nomadic hunter gatherers becoming sedentary farmers.
Triss [41]

Answer:

It took climate change, fertile river valleys, domestication of crops and animals so that the hunter-gatherers became sedentary farmers.

Explanation:

Initially, all humans were hunter-gatherers. This was due to multiple reasons, with one the biggest one probably being the climate which was not enabling good conditions for the hunter-gatherers to transform their lifestyle. All other conditions needed were stopped because of the climate conditions, so humans had to do what they could to survive in those conditions.

About 10 years ago though the bad climate conditions ended, or rather the Ice Age ended. This resulted in a much warmer climate, which in turn created much more water bodies like rivers and lakes, much more vegetation, and they contributed to the creation of much more fertile soil.

With these conditions in place, the humans quickly saw that there is huge potential in some plants and animals, so they started to farm them, select the ones with the best characteristics, and gradually producing enough food for themselves. With the food problem solved, humans didn't have the need to wonder around all the time, so they started abandoning the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and started settling in one place.

What does the ability to build great buildings out of stone tell you about Mayan political power
kumpel [21]

The fact that the Mayans were building great buildings in their period of existence, is a proof that they had a very big political power in the region, and not just political, but also military, economic, cultural power.

Only civilizations that are strong, well organized, and political powerhouses, have been able to build such big structures, because they had the conditions and time for it. For building such big structures, lot of wealth is needed, also lot of workers, and great engineers. The Mayans had it all. They had great engineers, the labor force was provided in general by the slaves, or by the the tribes that they were ruling over, and from all the tributes paid to them by the people they ruled over, they had surplus of wealth, which meant that they can perform such activities without damaging the empire.
