"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.

Answer:

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.

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

The Earth is a "closed system" which means that the amount of rocks, carbon, metals, nitrogen, water and oxygen on earth remains constant.

So it is essential that "biogeochemical cycles renew these materials" as they move through the Earth's subsystems.

Explanation:

The Earth's only source of extra-planetary energy is the Solar radiations received by Earth.

The biogeochemical cycles on the planet are responsible for processing the same old rocks, metals, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, water, and other abiotic substances on Earth in order to naturally renew them and make them available for reuse.

No naturally occurring element on Earth is newly produced. It is only renewed through biogeochemical processes.
